Hello All!

We were discussing today on the #dev Slack channel the idea of extending 
Osmosis to handle enhanced PBF files created by Osmium that have location 
information for each WayNode. This has the potential to eliminate the need for 
giant node-to-location maps consuming tens of GB of RAM when processing 
planetary PBF files.


I'd like to see this happen as OSM data keeps growing exponentially and I'd be 
more than happy to help out with the changes to Osmosis if that would be 
useful. Once we have an OsmosisReader than can handle these enhanced PBF files 
(and, obviously, older PBF files as well), it would be nice to take the next 
step and have them published by the OSM project. Although we'd prefer the 
enhanced data be centralized so everyone has easy access to it, we could also 
do this part if resources to do it are limited.


Best,


     Jon
