Updating GDAL version to speed up Importing of rasters that takes ages

[ivanprado]

Context

Some particular rasters takes infinite to be loaded. Specifically, rasters generated by Diego (Pix4d output format? are problematic.

Steps to Reproduce

Upload a raster from Diego

Current Result

It take ages.

Expected result

It take a reasonable time.

Additional info

I have seen that the problem disappears if the raster is reconverted. Particularly I have converted a raster with the following command and it worked well:

gdal_translate -co COMPRESS=JPEG -co TILED=YES in.tif out.tif

Proposals

• Try to install a newer GDAL version
• Rewrite always tifs before importing. Or detect when tifs are offending and rewrite just in that case.

Currently we're using:

root@71c40e80e678:/dronedb# gdalinfo --version
GDAL 1.11.0, released 2014/04/16

I can try to move it forward (latest stable version is 2.2.3, http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/NewsAndStatus) and check how it breaks.
