GeoMesa 1.2.5 Release Notes

GeoMesa 1.2.5 includes 45+ improvements and bug fixes.

Highlights

Improved Polygon and LineString Indexing

  • GeoMesa now includes XZ2 and XZ3 indexes for geometries with extents (e.g. non-points)
  • XZ indexes avoid object duplication and provide multi-level resolution indexing
  • XZ indexes are now the default for non-point geometries (e.g. LineStrings and Polygons)

Configurable Date Intervals for Z3 and XZ3 Indexes

  • Z3 and XZ3 indexes can partition data by:
    • day/millis
    • week/seconds
    • month/seconds
    • year/minutes
  • Default indexing is week/seconds
  • Modifying the date intervals help with queries that are much larger or much smaller than a week
