Hi Florian,

Thank you for the pointer to streampipes. As you noticed, the geocoder is 
really experimental ;) You are welcome to open issues on github and to improve 
code.

In my understanding, a “geocoder" (text to location) should not be confused 
with a "reverse geocoder" (location to text). Right now, we use the “geocoder” 
to assign a location to IP addresses based on their textual description (it 
usually contains the address). Antoine is currently working on ip to location.

Your "reverse geocoder” looks really interesting. Our  long term goal is to 
have a set of infrastructure component for web mapping infrastructure. The 
"what’s here” buttons available on many maps are probably implemented with 
reverse geocoders. Can your contribution to stream pipe be used outside of the 
context of a stream or event processor?

Best,

Bertil
