OPENDAP/bes: Version 3.20.0 for Hyrax 1.15

Description

News for version 3.20.0

For more information about the new features and bug fixes, see README.md

  • Updates for the HDF4 and HDF5 handlers in addition to bug fixes for other handles as noted in the README.md file.

  • Site-specific configuration

The BES uses a number of configuration files, and until now, a site has to customize these for their server. Each server installation would overwrite those files. No more.

  • The MDS

A new cache has been added to the BES for Metadata Responses (aka, the MDS or MetaData Store). This cache is unlike the other BES caches in that it is intended to be operated as either a 'cache' or a 'store.' In the latter case, items added will never be removed - it is an open-ended place where metadata response objects will be kept indefinitely. The MDS contents (as a cache or a store) will survive Hyrax restarts.

  • COVJSON Response

For datasets that contain geo-spatial data, we now provide the option to get those data (and related metadata) encoded using the covjson format. (See https://covjson.org/). Thanks to Corey Hemphill, Riley Rimer, and Lewis McGibbney for this contribution.

  • Improved support for data stored on Amazon's S3 Web Object Store

Hyrax has been about to work with data stored on S3 by copying those datasets to a local cache for some time. With Hyrax 1.15 we have added support for subset-in-place for HDF5 and NetCDF4 data files.

We welcome feedback on this new feature.

  • Improved catalog support

We have generalized the BESCatalog system so that it is much easier to use. As an example of new Catalog sub-system's ease of use, we have implemented a new module that reads information about datasets from NASA's Common Metadata Repository (CMR) and uses that to display a Virtual Directory for NASA data

This software is currently available in source form only - contact us if you would like to extend the BES Catalog system for your own data collections.

  • Bug Fixes

About 40 bugs have been fixed for this release. See README.md
