AboutContinuous IntegrationLicenseChatGeoWave is an open source set of software that:CapabilitiesAdds multi-dimensional indexing capability to key/value stores (currently Apache Accumulo, Apache HBase, Apache Cassandra, Amazon DynamoDB, Cloud Bigtable, Redis, RocksDB, and Apache Kudu)Adds support for geographic objects and geospatial operators to these storesProvides Map-Reduce input and output formats for distributed processing and analysis of geospatial dataGeospatial software pluginsGeoServer plugin to allow geospatial data in various key/value stores to be shared and visualized via OGC standard servicesBasically, GeoWave is working to bridge geospatial software with modern key/value stores and distributed compute systems.The DocsGeoWave - Latest snapshot documentation homepageGeoWave Overview - Overview of GeoWave's capabilitiesInstallation Guide - Installation instructions for standalone installers and from RPMsQuickstart Guide - A quick demo of GeoWave features using the command-line interfaceUser Guide - A guide for using GeoWave through the command-line interface and GeoServer pluginDeveloper Guide - A guide for developing applications that utilize GeoWaveCommand-Line Interface - Full documentation for the GeoWave CLIChangelog - Changes and features for each of our GitHub releasesThe underlying principles employed in GeoWave are outlined in recent academic publications to include largely the background theory in Advances in Spatial and Temporal Databases 2017 and a derivative, more applied paper in FOSS4G Conference Proceedings 2017.The SoftwareWe have multi-platform standalone installers for the GeoWave's command-line tools to help get startedThis is often the quickest and easiest way to get started using GeoWave on your own machineWe have a RPM repositoryThis contains various packages including puppet modules, best used for distributed environments.See the Installation Guide for more info.Maven artifacts are available on Maven CentralAnd you can always build from sourceCommunityCommunity support is available on chat and on our mailing list.Getting StartedProgrammatic AccessYou can use Maven to reference pre-built GeoWave artifacts with the following pom.xml snippet (replacing ${keyvalue-datastore} with your data store of choice and ${geowave.version} with the GeoWave version you'd like to use): <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.locationtech.geowave</groupId> <artifactId>geowave-datastore-${keyvalue-datastore}</artifactId> <version>${geowave.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.locationtech.geowave</groupId> <artifactId>geowave-adapter-vector</artifactId> <version>${geowave.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.locationtech.geowave</groupId> <artifactId>geowave-adapter-raster</artifactId> <version>${geowave.version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies>Use the libraries available in the api package to leverage GeoWave's capabilities (where <data store options> might be AccumuloRequiredOptions or HBaseRequiredOptions and simple examples of creating the data type and index can be found in SimpleIngest within the examples directory):DataStore store = DataStoreFactory.createDataStore(<data store options>);store.addType(<my data type>, <my index>);try(Writer writer = store.createWriter()){ //write data writer.writer(<data>);} //this just queries everythingtry(CloseableIterator it = store.query(QueryBuilder.newBuilder().build())){ while(it.hasNext()){ //retrieve results matching query criteria and do something it.next(); }}See the Developer Guide for more detailed programmatic API examples.Command-line AccessAlternatively, you can always use the GeoWave command-line to access the same capabilities:# Add a new RocksDB data store called myStore in the current directorygeowave store add -t rocksdb myStore# Add a spatial index called spatialIdx to myStoregeowave index add -t spatial myStore spatialIdx# Ingest a shapefile with states into myStore in the spatialIdx indexgeowave ingest localToGW -f geotools-vector states.shp myStore spatialIdx# Query all the data in the states type from myStoregeowave vector query "SELECT * FROM myStore.states"See the CLI documentation for a full list of commands and their options.Some GeoWave rendered eye candy See Example Screenshots in the GeoWave Overview for more information.Supported versions of core librariesWe work to maintain a N and N-1 tested and supported version pace for the following core libraries.GeoServerGeoToolsAccumuloHBaseHadoopJava2.14.x20.x[1.7.x,1.9.x][1.1.x,1.4.x]2.xJava8Apache Maven 3.x or greater is required for buildingSee our .travis.yml file for the currently tested build matrix.OriginGeoWave was developed at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in collaboration with RadiantBlue Technologies (now Maxar Technologies) and Booz Allen Hamilton.
