Use RangeExtractor.jl for for lazy application over DiskArrays.jl chunks

[rafaqz]

It would be good to be able to group points by the DiskArrays.jl chunks they map to in a Raster.

Polygons and lines could cover multiple points - its essentially a rasterization into a very coarse raster where indices are pushed to a vector for each chunk.

This would be pretty useful in e.g. optomising extract or zonal statistics from a lazy raster or stack.

@asinghvi17 I guess this is a bit like your RangeExtractor.jl?

[asinghvi17]

This is exactly RangeExtractor.jl :)

[rafaqz]

But its not DiskArrays.jl aware?

[rafaqz]

I'm thinking to build it into Rasters.jl to use inside e.g. extract. We would need to move the extension code to Rasters

[asinghvi17]

Yeah, you just need to specify the chunks according to what diskarrays tells you

[asinghvi17]

An implementation would be similar to the Rasters extension I have in RangeExtractor

[rafaqz]

Ok lets depend on RangeExtractor.jl in Rasters. I'm keen to make all the spatial methods faster on lazy data

[asinghvi17]

Sweet! I'll finalize the API over the next few days so we can also discard unnecessary tiles for polygons. Since the polygon burning is done by scanline this should be really efficient if we just use rasterize, so maybe that is the thing we need to do...
