Good afternoon,

Reviewing hxxps://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/METRON/issues/METRON-2340 I'm 
attempting to sketch out a rough solution and I would like guidance from more 
experienced minds.

Maxmind releases code that allows you to build your own mmdb database. The 
tests I can see in Metron, besides the download, seem to try a few locations 
like Milton and London. Would it be sufficient to generate geoip databases with 
those (limited), test locations or alternatively generate geoip databases with 
hypothetical locations and then host those locations in git for the purpose of 
the download and testing?

The documentation for the settings in Ambari for Metron GeoIP updates could 
then be slightly updated to add that someone needs to get their own key for 
GeoIP updates?

Cheers,

Tom.
