[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-4717) Coverage metadata overwritten/reset when uploading new coverage data

Coverage metadata overwritten/reset when uploading new coverage data
--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4717
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4717
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: David Winslow
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
         Attachments: 0001-Preserve-coverage-metadata-on-data-overwrite.patch

As discussed with Justin in IRC, the REST API currently behaves inconsistently when handling data uploaded to an *existing* datastore vs. a coveragestore. In the former case, any existent metadata (title, keywords, etc) will be preserved, while for a coveragestore they are reset to auto-generated values as though the coverage had not been configured before at all.

Patch attached.
