Incrementally building tiles #951

Open henriktorget opened 2 years ago

henriktorget commented 2 years ago

It seems to me like tippecanoe tiles only can be made "in one go". If i have an enormous dataset. Is it possible to incrementally build tiles from this? Or do i have to run the whole dataset through tippecanoe before it can start creating the tiles.

Making multiple tiles and then joining them does not seem to do what i want. Because i cant have tippecanoe process the resulting tileset to be performant.

Is it possible to add sections of a large dataset to tippecanoe incrementally? Thanks :)

Sorry, tile-join is the closest thing to an incremental update that Tippecanoe currently supports.
