Description

It seems to me like tippecanoe tiles only can be made "in one go".
If i have an enormous dataset. Is it possible to incrementally build tiles from this?
Or do i have to run the whole dataset through tippecanoe before it can start creating the tiles.

Making multiple tiles and then joining them does not seem to do what i want.
Because i cant have tippecanoe process the resulting tileset to be performant.

Is it possible to add sections of a large dataset to tippecanoe incrementally?
Thanks :)

Research direction

Start by reviewing tippecanoe's current processing workflow and the existing issue discussion about incremental input. Determine the scope of supporting sections of a large dataset and how resulting tiles would remain performant; done means the supported workflow and its behavior are clearly defined and validated.
