Make Geoserver handle a multi-band Geotiff as a temporal mosaic. Each band represents a time slice. The temporal reference is related to the bands in the following way:

data.tif#band1: 01-2006
data.tif#band2: 02-2006
data.tif#band2: 03-2006
…
data.tif#bandN: 12-2099

Rationale:

  1. Although it is possible to use the temporal mosaic, for large collections of time slices this means an unnecessary occupation of free file handles and inodes.
  2. Convenience; typical use case in space-time applications

Requirements:

  1. optimize the tiff reader in terms of efficiency to handle tiff files with large directories
  2. Create a lookup mechanism that maps individual bands to timestamps (instant) or temporal intervals (start-end)
