[Geoserver-users] Splitting ECW file into smaller chunks

Hi all,

I’m working on geoserver and I decided to use Hadoop HDFS in order to store my raster files(ECW),but now I have a problem, I want to split my files into smaller ones and then upload them to hdfs, but I googled and didn’t found any solution like script or something like this, ArcGIS Desktop has this ability but it is not free, Qgis clipper tools uses to crop part of ECW raster file, but not splitting into several files.

Any idea?

Thanks.

I do not think you will find a free tool to write ecw. It is not an
'open data format', only reading is free, for writing you have to pay.

You could use open formats like GeoTiff etc for this? You can then use
ogr2ogr to read the ecw, and write out geotiffs?
