TDS folks,
We have several providers that routinely overwrite files with new
data, for example, overwriting a file called "forecast.nc" with new
data each day.
As I understand it from reading
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/tds4.2/reference/ThreddsConfigXMLFile.html#NetcdfFileCache
it appears that if we don't want to cache certain datasets, we have two choices:
1) Turn off caching for ALL datasets served by TDS, by modifying the
threddsConfig.xml to read:
<NetcdfFileCache>
<maxFiles>0</maxFiles>
</NetcdfFileCache>
2) Turn off caching for AN INDIVIDUAL dataset served by TDS, by
setting a <datasetRoot> with the cache="false"/> option, and then
specifying each individual dataset.
But if we have a bunch of datasets in a directory that we would like
to turn off caching for, is there a way to turn off caching in
<datasetScan>?
I tried using <datasetRoot with cache="false"> in the specification of
a <datasetScan> but that didn't seem to work.
I certainly could have missed something. But if not, it would be
nice to have more ability to control the cache on a dataset-by-dataset
basis in the future.
