= Support for decoding GRIB in rasdaman =

Decoding GRIB files in rasdaman can be enabled by specifying `--with-grib` when configuring rasdaman. In this case the [https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/GRIB/Home libgrib_api] library must be installed; this library transparently supports both GRIB 1 and 2.

== inv_grib (rasql) ==

Petascope should send to rasdaman:

{{{
UPDATE myCoverage AS m SET m[0:720,0:360,0:1, 0:1] ASSIGN VALUES inv_grib($1, "#messages")
}}}

The format of #messages is as follows:

{{{#!javascript
{
  "messageDomains": [
    "[0:0,0:0,0:719,0:360]",
    "[0:0,1:1,0:719,0:360]",
    "[0:0,2:2,0:719,0:360]",
    ..
  ]
}
}}}

The messageDomains should be ordered to match the message order in the GRIB file.

The X/Y are required to be the last dimensions as this is efficient and simple (no need to reorder stuff further in rasdaman, besides row-major -> column major for each message).

== WCSTImport ==
WCSTImport will send this information to Petascope:
