Re: [geomesa-users] Ingesting Polygons into GeoMesa

[Chris Eichelberger <cne1x@xxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

Yes, GeoMesa can ingest and query non-point geometries.  If you are
ingesting data from text files, for example, you can embed the
well-known text (WKT) representation directly.  For example,
"POLYGON(-79 38, -79 39, -78 39, -78 38, -79 38)".

You just need to be sure that your simple feature type declares the
geometry column to be an appropriate type.  The default "Geometry" will
contain any of these, but you may want to be more specific, and declare
it as type "Polygon", which is also supported.

I hope this helps; if not, please just write again.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
  -- Chris
