The main drawback I see with the current GeoApi GridCoverageReader interface is that there is no way to get real information about a raster source unless you instantiate a GridCoverage. As an instance it is impossible to know the envelope, the number of overviews, the tile size. This information is needed in order to perform decimation on reading or to use built-in overviews
This really impacts the ability to exploit raster datasets in a desktop environment where caching is crucial.
