| shared | boolean | Whether to open the dataset in shared mode. Not recommend to enable true unless you can guarantee that one on thread accesses a given file at the same time (unlikely given the way that most tiling software works with mapnik). It is only beneficial therefore if you are rendering multiprocess and single threaded and are working in low memory situation. Internally it directs Mapnik to call `GDALOpenShared` instead of `GDALOpen` which means that GDAL will consult its global cache of datasets. GDAL will try to return a copy of the dataset if access from multiple threads (but this defeats the purpose of sharing) | false | | shared | boolean | Whether to open the dataset in shared mode.
