1 year ago Changes so far:
- the "off" cache-policy now uses a temporary directory so all retrievals are possible to use
- the default cache-policy was changed to "off" from "user"
- the cache/temporary directory path can be queried as
cache.directory()
See: https://earthkit-data.readthedocs.io/en/feature-cache_and_tmp/examples/cache.html https://earthkit-data.readthedocs.io/en/feature-cache_and_tmp/guide/caching.html
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current caching is documented at https://earthkit-data.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/caching.html
The problem is that the cache currently also serves as temporary space. So when caching is turned off there is nowhere to download files from URLs or services.
The task is to review the caching policies and see how we could use separate concepts for the cache and the temporary space.
