## About

GeoWave is an open source set of software that:

* Capabilities

  * Adds multi-dimensional indexing capability to key/value stores (currently [Apache Accumulo](https://accumulo.apache.org), [Apache HBase](https://hbase.apache.org), [Apache Cassandra](http://cassandra.apache.org/), [Amazon DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/), [Cloud Bigtable](https://cloud.google.com/bigtable/), [Redis](https://redis.io/), [RocksDB](https://rocksdb.org/), and [Apache Kudu](https://kudu.apache.org/), as well as direct FileSystem support)

  * Adds support for geographic objects and geospatial operators to these stores

  * Provides Map-Reduce input and output formats for distributed processing and analysis of geospatial data

* Geospatial software plugins

  * [GeoServer](http://geoserver.org/) plugin to allow geospatial data in various key/value stores to be shared and visualized via OGC standard services

  

Basically, GeoWave is working to bridge geospatial software with modern key/value stores and distributed compute systems.

* [Changelog](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/changelog.html) - Changes and features for each of our [GitHub releases](https://github.com/locationtech/geowave/releases)

* The underlying principles employed in GeoWave are outlined in past academic publications to include largely the background theory in [Advances in Spatial and Temporal Databases 2017](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-64367-0_6) and a derivative, more applied paper in [FOSS4G Conference Proceedings 2017](http://scholarworks.umass.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1027&context=foss4g).

## The Software

* We have [multi-platform standalone installers](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/installation-guide.html#standalone-installers) for the GeoWave's command-line tools to help get started

  * This is often the quickest and easiest way to get started using GeoWave on your own machine

* We have a [RPM repository](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/downloads.html)

  * This contains various packages including puppet modules, best used for distributed environments.

  * See the [Installation Guide](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/installation-guide.html#installation-from-rpm) for more info.

* Maven artifacts are available on Maven Central

* And you can always [build from source](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/devguide.html#development-setup)

## Community

* Community support is available on [chat](https://gitter.im/locationtech/geowave) and on [our mailing list](mailto:[email protected]).

## Getting Started

### Programmatic Access

You 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):

```

	

		

			org.locationtech.geowave

			geowave-datastore-${keyvalue-datastore}

			${geowave.version}

		

		

			org.locationtech.geowave

			geowave-adapter-vector

			${geowave.version}

		

		

			org.locationtech.geowave

			geowave-adapter-raster

			${geowave.version}

		

	

```

Use the libraries available in the `api` package to leverage GeoWave's capabilities (where `` might be `AccumuloRequiredOptions` or `HBaseRequiredOptions` and simple examples of creating the data type and index can be found in `SimpleIngest` within the `examples` directory):

```java

DataStore store = DataStoreFactory.createDataStore();

store.addType(, );

try(Writer writer = store.createWriter()){

  //write data

  writer.writer();

}

 

//this just queries everything

try(CloseableIterator it = store.query(QueryBuilder.newBuilder().build())){

  while(it.hasNext()){

    //retrieve results matching query criteria and do something

    it.next();

  }

}

```

See the [Developer Guide](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/devguide.html#programmatic-api-examples) for more detailed programmatic API examples.

### Command-line Access

Alternatively, you can always use the GeoWave command-line to access the same capabilities:

```bash

# Add a new RocksDB data store called myStore in the current directory

geowave store add -t rocksdb myStore

# Add a spatial index called spatialIdx to myStore

geowave index add -t spatial myStore spatialIdx

# Ingest a shapefile with states into myStore in the spatialIdx index

geowave ingest localToGW -f geotools-vector states.shp myStore spatialIdx

# Query all the data in the states type from myStore

geowave vector query "SELECT * FROM myStore.states"

```

See the [CLI documentation](https://locationtech.github.io/geowave/latest/commands.html) for a full list of commands and their options.

## Supported versions of core libraries

We work to maintain a N and N-1 tested and supported version pace for the following core libraries.

| GeoServer | GeoTools | Accumulo | HBase | Hadoop | Java |

|:---------:|:--------:|:--------:|:-----:|:------:|:----:|

| 2.19.x | 25.x | [1.9.x,2.0.x] | 2.4.x | [2.10.x,3.1.x] | Java8 |

* [Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) 3.x or greater is required for building

## Origin

GeoWave was originally developed at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in collaboration with [RadiantBlue Technologies](http://www.radiantblue.com/) (now [Maxar Technologies](https://www.maxar.com/)) and [Booz Allen Hamilton](http://www.boozallen.com/).
