That's a good question, Bill. The data that I'm trying to store begins as a simple point. But, moving fo= rward, it will become more like complex geometries. I assume that I can si= mply create a JSON-like object and insert it. Which, for now, that works. = I'm just wondering if theres a typical / publicly accepted standard of sto= ring somewhat complex spatial data in Cassandra.
Additionally, I would like to figure out how one goes about slicing on large spatial data sets given situations where, for instance, I would like to get all the points in a column-family where the point is within a shape. I guess it boils down to using a spatial comparator of some sort, but I haven't seen one, yet. - Sean On Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 9:51 AM, William R Speirs <bill.spe...@gmail.com>wrote: > I know nothing about postgis and little about spacial data, but if you're > simply talking about data that relates to some latitude & longitude pair, > you could have your row key simply be the concatenation of the two: > lat:long. > > Can you provide more details about the type of data you're looking to > store? > > Thanks... > > Bill- > > > On 02/05/2011 12:22 PM, Sean Ochoa wrote: > >> Can someone tell me how to represent spatial data (coming from postgis) in >> Cassandra? >> >> - Sean >> > -- Sean | M (206) 962-7954 | GV (760) 624-8718
