14.8. FileSystem Datastore Example¶

In this simple example we will ingest a small CSV into a local filesystem datastore partitioned by an daily,z2-2bit scheme. To begin, start by untaring the geomesa-fs distribution. Inside this distribution you will find an examples folder which contains an example csv file that we will ingest:

$ cd /tmp/
$ tar xvf ~/Downloads/geomesa-fs-dist_2.11-$VERSION.tar.gz
$ cd /tmp/geomesa-fs_2.11-$VERSION

$ cat examples/ingest/csv/example.csv
ID,Name,Age,LastSeen,Friends,Lon,Lat,Vis
23623,Harry,20,2015-05-06,"Will, Mark, Suzan","patronus->10,expelliarmus->9",-100.236523,23,user
26236,Hermione,25,2015-06-07,"Edward, Bill, Harry","accio->10",40.232,-53.2356,user
3233,Severus,30,2015-10-23,"Tom, Riddle, Voldemort","potions->10",3,-62.23,user&admin

As you can see, there are 3 records in the file. GeoMesa ships with a pre-installed SimpleFeatureType and converter for this example file which can be found in the conf/application.conf file. Running bin/geomesa-fs env will show that there is an example-csv type and converter installed along with many other types including twitter, gdelt, osm, etc:

$ bin/geomesa-fs env
    Simple Feature Types:
    example-avro
    example-csv
    example-csv-complex
    ...

    Simple Feature Type Converters:
    example-avro-header
    example-avro-no-header
    example-csv
    ...

For this example we’ll ingest the three rows to a local filesystem. Note that the records are all on different days:

2015-05-06
2015-06-07
2015-10-23

and that the geometries fall into two quadrants of the world. The first record is in the upper left quadrant and the second and third records are in the lower right quadrant:

Lon          Lat
-100.236523  23
40.232      -53.2356
3           -62.23

Now lets ingest.

$ bin/geomesa-fs ingest -p file:///tmp/dstest -e parquet -s example-csv -C example-csv \
--partition-scheme daily,z2-2bit examples/ingest/csv/example.csv

INFO  Creating schema example-csv

[============================================================] 100% complete 3 ingested 0 failed in 00:00:01
INFO  Local ingestion complete in 00:00:01
INFO  Ingested 3 features with no failures.

We can verify our ingest by running an export:

$ bin/geomesa-fs export -p file:///tmp/dstest -f example-csv

id,fid:Integer:index=false,name:String:index=true,age:Integer:index=false,lastseen:Date:default=true:index=false,*geom:Point:srid=4326
26236,26236,Hermione,25,2015-06-07T00:00:00.000Z,POINT (40.232 -53.2356)
3233,3233,Severus,30,2015-10-23T00:00:00.000Z,POINT (3 -62.23)
23623,23623,Harry,20,2015-05-06T00:00:00.000Z,POINT (-100.236523 23)
INFO  Feature export complete to standard out in 1676ms for 3 features

Now lets inpsect the filesystem to see what it looks like:

$ find /tmp/dstest
/tmp/dstest
/tmp/dstest/example-csv
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/05
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/05/06
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/05/06/2
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/05/06/2/.0000.parquet.crc
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/05/06/2/0000.parquet
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/10
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/10/23
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/10/23/1
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/10/23/1/.0000.parquet.crc
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/10/23/1/0000.parquet
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/06
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/06/07
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/06/07/1
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/06/07/1/.0000.parquet.crc
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/06/07/1/0000.parquet
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/schema.sft
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/.metadata.crc
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/.schema.sft.crc
/tmp/dstest/example-csv/metadata

Notice that we have a directory structure laid out based on our daily,z2-2bit scheme. Notice the first parquet file path is composed of a date path 2016/05/06 and then a z2 ordinate of 2

/tmp/dstest/example-csv/2015/05/06/2/0000.parquet

The parquet file name is 0000 which indicates it is the first file we have ingested in this spatio-temporal filesystem partition. If we were to ingest a second file it would be named 0001.parquet and GeoMesa would read the contents of both at query time.

We’ll also take a quick look at the metadata to see that it lists the parquet files in the system:

$ cat /tmp/dstest/example-csv/metadata
{
    "partitions" : {
        "2015/05/06/2" : [
            "0000.parquet"
        ],
        "2015/06/07/1" : [
            "0000.parquet"
        ],
        "2015/10/23/1" : [
            "0000.parquet"
        ]
    }
}
