LocationTech GeoWave leverages the scalability of a distributed key-value store for effective storage, retrieval, and analysis of massive geospatial datasets.
Currently, GeoWave is an open source set of software that:
-
Adds multi-dimensional indexing capability to Apache Accumulo, HBase and Cassandra as well as Google's BigTable and Amazon DynamoDB
-
Adds support for geographic objects and geospatial operators to Apache Accumulo, HBase and Cassandra as well as Google's BigTable and Amazon DynamoDB
-
Contains a GeoServer plugin to allow geospatial data in Accumulo to be shared and visualized via OGC standard services
-
Both raster and vector data models are supported
-
-
Provides Map-Reduce input and output formats for distributed processing and analysis of geospatial data
-
Provides a PDAL plugin for interacting with point cloud data in accumulo through the PDAL library.
In simplified terms, GeoWave currently attempts to do for Distributed Key-value stores as PostGIS does for PostgreSQL.
