All,

I am exploring the possibility of developing a new GeoServer data store
extension (along the lines of the sql server/oracle/teradata extensions)
for the Hive distributed database.  This would presumably allow me to store
geo data at very large scale with excellent response time.  I am
particularly interested in storing map overlay features (i.e. individual
address points with associated data and area overlays, like zip codes,
states, counties, etc).

I have a few questions:

1) Does this seem feasible, e.g. are there any obvious roadblocks to this
or am I unlikely to succeed for some technical reason that I haven't seen
yet?

2) What pieces of plumbing would I need to write?  As I mentioned, this
datastore is non-relational and does not have a formal structured query
language like SQL, so my assumption is that I likely need to build some
sort of predicate analyzer/query builder, but I'm OK with that.  My main
question is around the integration points with GeoServer.

3) What is the recommended process for deploying/testing/debugging?  I have
read the developer manual, but it seems a little thin

Thanks,
Chris
