No error message while importing unsupported tiled TIFF

[joachim.ungar@…]

I used RPMs from ​http://urchin.spbcas.ru/elip/ on a CentOS 6 machine.

There were some problems while importing tiff images:

I had to create a type definition for my four-band data. [see attachment]

Inserting a TIFF (via rasql) showed no error whatsoever a collection with the correct extent (~ 6000x6000) was created. Hex and TIFF output though showed that the collection was filled with 0's.

rasql -q "select m[0:10,0:10] from mr as m" —out hex

N?.log tells me that:

...
TIFF error: Can not read scanlines from a tiled image
...

I don't think that this is the reason for the import error (see next ticket). But I suggest to add an error message (that tiled TIFFs are not supported) while importing.

Joachim,

can you provide me with a smaller tiled image on which I can reproduce this? The error is reported by libtiff, and this should have been caught in rasdaman, so it's a bug to be fixed.

Submitted patch that fixes it.
