Re: [DISCUSS] Geo-Spatial support

Hi, I'd suggest having a look at Postgis (https://postgis.net/) for some inspiration. Its mature and rather sophisticated with a small army of functions. They have two types, 'geometry' for standard projection functions and 'geography' for 3D spherical maths functions. Postgis also has a JDBC dri

Re: [DISCUSS] Geo-Spatial support

Sorry Josh, I just realized I never responded to this and thanks for the feedback. The scope for the proposed options are based on what tools like DSE Graph and Janusgraph support. I definitely agree that we should make sure that what we choose is extensible as well as in line with standards. I

Re: [DISCUSS] Geo-Spatial support

Just noticed I hadn't commented on this thread - I'm in favor of this addition. Other graphs have already built this sort of functionality and it is already satisfying existing use cases so we already have a model for how this sort of functionality will work. I'd agree with Josh that there may yet

Re: [DISCUSS] Geo-Spatial support

Hi Dave, I think something like this is a very good idea, and these look like useful primitives. IMO when it comes to geospatial queries, the devil is in the details. For example, at some point we'll have someone asking for double-precision lat/lon points (GPS is not that accurate, but some applic

[DISCUSS] Geo-Spatial support

One of the common requests from customers and users of TinkerPop is to add support for geographic based searches (TINKERPOP-2558 ). In fact many TinkerPop enabled database vendors such as DataStax Graph and JanusGraph have added custom predicate
