Geonames/spatial stuff usable in 3.5?
Hi,
I was looking for a way to use spatical search given a location name (like
'dallas,tx'), and also given an IP, and I found
http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Spatial-Geonames-and-extension-to-Spatial-Solution-for-Solr-tc1311813.html
this post by Chris Mattmann mentioning some work with Geonames that seems
to do all I need. The work is done in 8 different issues, and was implmented
for 3.2
I have the following questions:
Has anyone used this and do you have some feedback about it?
Is the IP-to-lat/lon ready to run out of the box or it needs some external
service?
If I wanted to use this in 3.5 the easiest way would be to apply all patches
to current 3.5? Would they apply cleanly or probably not?
Are there any plans to incorporate this to Solr itself or it will remain as
some patches?
thanks,
javi

Hi Javi,
Ultimately I'd love these patches to be applied to Solr trunk, or to the
current 3.x stable branch. At the time I posted there was little interest
in doing that and rather than have those patches sit, I pushed them out
to a Github repository here:
http://github.com/chrismattmann/solrcene
Jan H. was pinging me before and looked like he had some interest
last October I think but I'm not sure anything came of it. Honestly, at
the time I went through a ton of effort to get the patches commit ready,
but I'd be willing to try again.
Theoretically some of those patches should be pushed out to Apache
SIS (e.g., the generic Geonames.org reader/loader), and then it would
be great to integrate some of the work with SIS and Lucene/Solr. If you're
interested, would be happy to chat with you on sis-dev@incubator.apache.org
about it.
Cheers,
Chris
