Hi, I have been selected to contribute to the issue ASTERIXDB-1371 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ASTERIXDB-1371> for GSoC this time. This being the community bonding period I am trying to familiarize myself with the code base of AsterixDB and to get a grasp of the task.
I am under the impression that the package *org.apache.asterix.om <http://org.apache.asterix.om> *has the classes for handling data models for AsterixDB and have been looking into them to figure out the implementation details. Please correct me if I am mistaken. I have also been reading on the specification for well known text[1] and GeoJSON[2] and have been trying to figure out if implementing one of them would suffice (if so which one) or if both needs to be implemented. If both needs to be implemented we should decide which needs to be implemented first. I was thinking of going for GeoJSON as it seems to have a wider usage. Any suggestions on how I should proceed with the project would be highly valued. [1] http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/12-063r5/12-063r5.html [2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946 Thank you. Yours sincerely, Riyafa
