Create a Geonames index running locally in Elasticsearch container. The index is stored in a data volume, which can be moved elsewhere and quickly stood up.
To download the Geonames.org gazetter, set up Dockerized Elasticsearch, and load the gazetteer into Elasticsearch, clone this repository and run
bash create_index.sh
The geonames_index/ directory can be compressed and moved elsewhere. To start a new
Elasticsearch instance using the prepared index, run
sudo docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:9200:9200 -v /PATH/TO/geoname_index/data/:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data elasticsearch:5.1.2
where /PATH/TO/geonames_index/data/ is the full path to the decompressed
index on your host machine.
This Geonames index is meant to be used with OEDA's full text geoparse, Mordecai.
The same work for the python script but with posibilities to create the index based in the pipeline defined by the developer in the file logstash/logstash-pipeline.conf. See logstash folder.
