Explore POSTGIS Raster storage function or conversion to raster in pipeline - for hazard in particular, but also gridded aggregate exposure data

Each schema (H and E for sure) should have the capability to ingest both vector and raster formats.

We found POSTGIS is unlikely a good option for raster storage, in favour of traditional file-based storage. Ultimately, the out-DB approach should aim to integrate all three key formats (vector, raster and table) within any component of the schema, avoiding as possible to convert one format into the other (unless this improves the fruibility of the dataset).
