I will leave it to the official GSC mentor (who's also a leading expert
on big spatial data) to direct - I was just suggesting that step 0
should be to become familiar with what's already there currently, to
have a working knowledge of that as background.
:-)
Looking forward to seeing this project unfold!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi,
As I understand by playing with current support of GIS objects( point,
polygon, circle, and rectangle) is similar to the Well known text
format--correct me if I am mistaken. Hence initially we could support other
GIS objects in WKT and support GeoJSON if time permits.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

I would also suggest playing with the current geo support in AsterixDB
(curretn types and indexing and functions in queries) to get warmed up.
Welcome aboard...!!

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.
