Automatic catalog update

[igorchernyak]

Hello. I got a question related to catalog.
I'm running Martin server connected to PostgreSQL. As I understand Martin server gets tables information when server starts. I'm wondering, when I create new table in PostgreSQL how can I make it visible in Martin? (Table has geometry column). Is there any way to do it without restarting of Martin server?

I face a similar issue when serving mbtiles with Martin running on Docker. If new Mbtiles are created Martin does not see the new files. It requires us to restart the service. It seems the files are only cached at start time.

Okay, lets give this a better answer:
We know that this is an issue.

As said above, currently, restarting is the only option.
While this should be pretty quick, this is not ideal (we know).

Lets continue the discussion in

• Automatic catalog update (WATCH_MODE=info) #288

To get towards Automatic catalog updates, we

• first need an internal datastructure that is updatable in paralel feat!: DashMap based catalog #1585 as identified in Add /refresh to update sources and some configurations #1179 (review)
• then enable refreshing the data
