Allow accessing GeoTIFF/COG via xcube data stores #489

Open forman opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The GeoTIFF format and its modern variant Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) is still the most popular data format for land remore sensing. It should be possible to ingest these into xcube too.

Describe the solution you'd like

It should be easy to extend our xcube "s3" and "directory" data stores to also support TIFF by respecting the .".tif" extension and using rasterio as engine for xarray.open_dataset() or using xarray.open_rasterio(). That would allow xcube to deal with a lot more data sources.

Additional context

Also needed by our projects EuroDataCube and Agriculture Virtual Laboratory, AVL.
