Paris Code Sprint 2016 : GDAL Agenda

Discussion and group review topics for the Paris Code Sprint 2016.

Tasks

 * Extending RFC 61 - Support for measured geometries :
 * Python testing of new methods
 * Implementation in drivers that support it : PostGIS (if not already completed), SQLite/Spatialite, FileGDB, OpenFileGDB, GPKG, Oracle. Check that it works with CSV, VRT, MEM
 * Check how that works with reprojection. Probably need ogr2ogr hack
 * Review remaining tasks in https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/MeasuredGeometriesInDrivers


 * Breaking cyclic dependency spatialite->postgis->gdal->spatialite that cause issues in DebianGIS packaging, possibly by dlopen'ing spatialite


 * Improve error handling of libcurl errors and other network errors for vsi* drivers
 * See: https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio/issues/538 for discussion

databases as it seems every table call requeries all metadata of all tables. This I ran into when using ogr-fdw
 * Improve performance of ODBC and related drivers ( https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6373 ) - right now if you don't specify table filter it is too slow against large
 * See: https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-ogr-fdw/issues/50 (but concluded the issue is in GDAL/OGR since querying with ogrinfo and friends is just as slow)


 * Configure script for mingw64 ODBC - https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6000
