error processing relations

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Some of the errors from the mapathon are due to workers trying to process relations, it tries to convert the nodes to features but fails because it's a relation.

See this changeset as an example:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/36871457

One of the huts polygons has a relation to a way. @kamicut thought it might have been a mistake, but it raises the issue of what to do.

It seems most sensible to simply filter out all relations and not process them at this time.

Relations are important for multipolygon buildings but not a core feature, @smit1678 should we tag this issue as 'future' ?

@kamicut @matthewhanson Seems right. I don't think this will be common. I think we could tag that for the future. That changeset also looks like an error. Not common usage to do an line outline of a building and then related it to a building feature.

happy with this is a future feature.
