10.2. Using the Bigtable Data Store Programmatically¶
10.2.1. Creating a Data Store¶
An instance of a Bigtable data store can be obtained through the normal GeoTools discovery methods,
assuming that the GeoMesa code is on the classpath. The Bigtable data store also requires that an
hbase-site.xml
be located on the classpath; the connection parameters for the Bigtable data store
are obtained from this file. For more information, see Connecting to Cloud Bigtable.
Map<String, Serializable> parameters = new HashMap<>;
parameters.put("bigtable.catalog", "geomesa");
org.geotools.data.DataStore dataStore =
org.geotools.data.DataStoreFinder.getDataStore(parameters);
10.2.2. Bigtable Data Store Parameters¶
The data store takes several parameters (required parameters are marked with *
):
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
bigtable.catalog * |
String | The name of the GeoMesa catalog table (previously bigtable.table.name ) |
geomesa.query.audit |
Boolean | Audit queries being run. Queries will be written to a log file |
geomesa.query.timeout |
String | The max time a query will be allowed to run before being killed. The
timeout is specified as a duration, e.g. 1 minute or 60 seconds |
geomesa.query.threads |
Integer | The number of threads to use per query |
geomesa.query.loose-bounding-box |
Boolean | Use loose bounding boxes - queries will be faster but may return extraneous results |
geomesa.stats.generate |
Boolean | Toggle collection of statistics (currently not implemented) |
geomesa.query.caching |
Boolean | Toggle caching of results |
