12.6. Record Update Processors¶

GeoMesa provides a processor for record-based updates to existing features (UpdateGeoMesaRecord). Compared to the ingest processors in modify mode, only the fields in the record will be updated, while other fields in the existing feature will be preserved. The record update processor accepts the following configuration parameters for specifying the input source:

Property	Description
`Record reader`	The Record Reader to use for deserializing the incoming data
`Feature type name`	Name of the simple feature type schema to update. If not specified, will use the name from the record schema
`Lookup column`	Column that will be used to match features for update
`Feature ID column`	Column that will be used as the feature ID
`Geometry columns`	Column(s) that will be deserialized as geometries, and their type, as a SimpleFeatureType specification string (e.g. `the_geom:Point`)
`Geometry serialization format`	The format to use for serializing/deserializing geometries, either WKT or WKB
`Visibilities column`	Column to use for feature visibilities (see Data Security)
