##About

GeoWave Plugin is an open source input plugin for Mapnik.

GeoWave is an open source set of software that:

• Adds multi-dimensional indexing capability to Apache Accumulo
• Adds support for geographic objects and geospatial operators to Apache Accumulo
• Provides Map-Reduce input and output formats for distributed processing and analysis of geospatial data

• C++ compiler supporting -std=c++11 (e.g. >= g++ 4.8 or >= clang++ 3.4)
• GYP

We use GYP as our build system. You can setup a custom configuration by specifying variables in config.gypi

Here is a list of variables which you can override:

• boost_home
  • boost_includes
  • boost_libs
• geowave_home
  • geowave_includes
  • geowave_libs
  • geowave_runtime_jar
• java_home
  • java_include_path
  • java_include_path2
  • java_jvm_lib
• mapnik_config
  • mapnik_includes
  • mapnik_libs
  • mapnik_name
• gtest_includes
• gtest_libs

Once you have created config.gypi, you are ready to proceed to the build step.

We provide a simple Makefile wrapper which can be used as follows:

make && make install

This will compile the geowave.input plugin and install it to the directory pointed to by:

./mapnik_config --input-plugins

The release library is built by default, but you can build the debug library using:

make debug

For more details, or to build directly with GYP, check out the contents of the Makefile.

First, download the GeoWave runtime and ingest jars contained within the jace-source packages provided by GeoWave here.

Next, create two environment variables which point to the runtime and ingest jars:

export GEOWAVE_RUNTIME_JAR=/path/to/jar
export GEOWAVE_INGEST_JAR=/path/to/jar

Once configured, you can run the tests locally using the Makefile wrapper as follows:

make test
