This is something from a while back, I did together with Justin for
Boundless. I have never used it myself. If anyone would need a code
review or has questions about the code in this module, I'm happy to (try
to) assist, but I don't really mind what happens to this module. If it
has become obsolete it can be removed.
Remark though that the geopkg module depends on it, more specifically
for the output format. You would have to move some of the code to this
module. Remark however, that all issues you mention apply to this module
as well:
- the geopackage contains an outputformat, a WPS process, and dependency
on a geotools store.
- I suspect the outputformat would have the same stability issue you mention
Kind Regards
Niels

Can I ask who the maintainer is? The pom.xml does not say, checking
history I see Niels and Justin as some of the initial commits.
I would recommend a separate community module.
We should keep your feedback in mind (do not pull together so many
extensions into a single module).

Hi,
I'm looking into publishing the MBTiles vector tiles datastore,
and wondering what to do with the existing mbtiles community module
in GeoServer, which is at the moment, in my opinion problematic:
* It packages into a single zip the store dependency, a WMS
output format, and a WPS process.
* The WMS output format is dangerous for the GeoServer
stability, as it allows clients to make a very long request,
building a large mbtiles, without any control or timeout.
* The WPS process adds a dependency to WPS, while maybe someone
just wants to display a MBTiles file but without WPS GeoServer
won't even start up.
* The module adds nothing else, there is no custom GUI for the
stores or anything like that.
An option can be to create a separate assembly,
mbtiles-store-plugin, that only packs the store, and leaving the
mbtiles module there.
Works, maybe it's a bit confusing... but I'm wondering, is there
anyone caring about the WMS format and the WPS process?
If not, the easiest thing could be to scrap the module, simplify
the assembly, and clean up the docs.
Ideally it could be split into 3 modules, but don't have the time
to go there (help to go there is more than welcomed though!).
Opinions?
Cheers
Andrea
