[Geoserver-users] Best way to serve thousands of imagery files?

GeoServer GeoServer User

I have >100,000 imagery files I would like to serve using GeoServer and would like to know the recommended way for serving these files? I tried to just import them all individually as files in a directory, but the GeoServer start-up time was over 2hrs!! I also tried to create an image pyramid from the files but could not get GeoServer to import the ImagePyramid as described in the documentation because it would not take the ImagePyramid directory as valid input because it wanted a file.

So what would be you guys recommended way for serving up very large data sets? Should I be using a database?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ben,

You should use an ImageMosaic for this.

Is there no performance hit if the ImageMosaic ends up being several GBs in size?

That’s a fair question and I’m not an ImageMosaic expert (yet) either. But my understanding is that the ImageMosaic only accesses the image tiles needed for the given map extent. You need to create an index shapefile which points the images to their corresponding locations.

Perhaps some of our resident experts can provide more detail on how to set it up.

You can also set up multiple zoom levels (i.e. an image pyramid) allowing geoserver to perform quickly at different scales.

Anedoctically, up to 100GB is fine, the issue is not much the overall size,
but the number of
files to open in order to serve a single output image, that should be kept
relatively small.

So you either have large tile files, you play with scale dependencies to
disable the layer
when zoomed out, or switch to image pyramid as Jody suggested

So I created an ImagePyramid using gdal from command line and got a directory structure of the images at different resolutions… when I tried to use this directory via the web interface by following the instructions in the documentation I was unable to use the ImagePyramid because the geoserver web interface is expecting a file and not a directory path. How do I import an ImagePyramid into geoserver?

a 0/ folder, as we cannot have files in the

Wondering... is GeoServer able to write to that path? Maybe it failed

thanks for the help guys! ImagePyramid was the answer, and for anyone doing this later when you use the gdal_retile tool you will have to move the images in the base directory into a 0/ directory as Andrea pointed out!

Thanks a lot!

So quick question. I created an image pyramid from my MrSID files and the resulting size was ~16* the size of the MrSID so I created an image pyramid of JP2K files instead because they get good compression and can be created using the gdal_retile tool however GeoServer fails to import an image pyramid of .jp2 files (I have the JPEG 2000 plugin properly included and see JP2K as a raster option). What imagery types are supported in a GeoServer image pyramid?

Hi Ben

I don’t know the answer to your question, but suspect it’s only GeoTIFFs.

More usefully however – did you use any compression on the tiles you created? If they’re aerial photo type things you can compress with JPEG compression for a very large saving. If they’re more thematic, you can use DEFLATE (lossless). The filesizes will still probably be a bit larger, but not 16 times so.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi Ben,

the ImagePyramid internally uses ImageMosaic reader: each level of the pyramid is a mosaic of files.

Therefore, ImagePyramid can support any image format supported by ImageMosaic.

About the JP2K issue you have, which JP2K Driver are you using? (MrSID/Kakadu/ECW/…?)

Can you please share some logs about the JP2K import failure?

Best Regards,
Daniele
