Go package for indexing Who's On First features in SQLite databases using the whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-sqlite-index and whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-sqlite-features packages.
The go-whosonfirst-sqlite-index package indexes SQLite databases using table constucts defined in the aaronland/go-sqlite package and records defined by the whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-iterate/v2 package
To build binary versions of these tools run the cli Makefile target. For example:
$> make cli
go build -mod vendor -o bin/wof-sqlite-index-features cmd/wof-sqlite-index-features/main.go
$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features -h
-all
Index all tables (except the 'search' and 'geometries' tables which you need to specify explicitly)
-ancestors
Index the 'ancestors' tables
-concordances
Index the 'concordances' tables
-database-uri string
(default "modernc://mem")
-geojson
Index the 'geojson' table
-geometries
Index the 'geometries' table (requires that libspatialite already be installed)
-index-alt value
Zero or more table names where alt geometry files should be indexed.
-index-alt-files
Index alt geometries. This flag is deprecated, please use -index-alt=TABLE,TABLE,etc. instead. To index alt geometries in all the applicable tables use -index-alt=*
-index-relations
Index the records related to a feature, specifically wof:belongsto, wof:depicts and wof:involves. Alt files for relations are not indexed at this time.
-index-relations-reader-uri string
A valid go-reader.Reader URI from which to read data for a relations candidate.
-iterator-uri string
A valid whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-iterate/v2 URI. Supported emitter URI schemes are: directory://,featurecollection://,file://,filelist://,geojsonl://,git://,null://,repo:// (default "repo://")
-live-hard-die-fast
Enable various performance-related pragmas at the expense of possible (unlikely) database corruption (default true)
-names
Index the 'names' table
-optimize
Attempt to optimize the database before closing connection (default true)
-processes int
The number of concurrent processes to index data with (default 16)
-properties
Index the 'properties' table
-rtree
Index the 'rtree' table
-search
Index the 'search' table (using SQLite FTS4 full-text indexer)
-spatial-tables
If true then index the necessary tables for use with the whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-spatial-sqlite package.
-spelunker-tables
If true then index the necessary tables for use with the whosonfirst/go-whosonfirst-spelunker packages
-spr
Index the 'spr' table
-strict-alt-files
Be strict when indexing alt geometries (default true)
-supersedes
Index the 'supersedes' table
-timings
Display timings during and after indexing
For example:
$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
-database-uri modernc://cwd/microhoods.db \
-all \
-iterator-uri 'repo://?include=properties.wof:placetype=microhood' \
/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-data-admin-us
Or creating databases for all the Who's On First repos:
#!/bin/sh
for REPO in $@
do
if [ ! -d ${REPO}/data ]
then
echo "${REPO} has no data directory"
continue
fi
FNAME=`basename ${REPO}`
echo "make db for ${FNAME}"
if [ -f "/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-sqlite/${FNAME}.db" ]
then
rm /usr/local/data/whosonfirst-sqlite/${FNAME}.db
fi
./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features -timings -all -database-uri modernc:///usr/local/data/whosonfirst-sqlite/${FNAME}-latest.db -iterator-uri repo:// ${REPO}
done
You can also specify inline queries by appending one or more include or exclude parameters to a emitter.Emitter URI, where the value is a string in the format of:
{PATH}={REGULAR EXPRESSION}
Paths follow the dot notation syntax used by the tidwall/gjson package and regular expressions are any valid Go language regular expression. Successful path lookups will be treated as a list of candidates and each candidate's string value will be tested against the regular expression's MatchString method.
For example:
$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
-all \
-database-uri modernc://cwd/ca-region.db \
-iterator-uri 'repo://?include=properties.wof:placetype=region' \
/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-data-admin-ca
$> sqlite3 ca-region.db
SQLite version 3.28.0 2019-04-15 14:49:49
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> SELECT id,name,placetype FROM spr;
85682057|Ontario|region
85682117|British Columbia|region
85682065|New Brunswick|region
85682123|Newfoundland and Labrador|region
85682067|Northwest Territories|region
85682075|Nova Scotia|region
85682081|Prince Edward Island|region
85682085|Manitoba|region
85682091|Alberta|region
85682095|Yukon|region
85682113|Saskatchewan|region
136251273|Quebec|region
85682105|Nunavut|region
You can pass multiple query parameters. For example:
$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
-all \
-database-uri modernc://cwd/ca-region.db \
-iterator-uri 'repo://?include=properties.wof:placetype=region&include=properties.wof:name=(?i)new.*' \
/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-data-admin-ca
$> sqlite3 ca-region-new.db
SQLite version 3.28.0 2019-04-15 14:49:49
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> SELECT id,name,placetype FROM spr;
85682065|New Brunswick|region
85682123|Newfoundland and Labrador|region
The default query mode is to ensure that all queries match but you can also specify that only one or more queries need to match by appending a include_mode or exclude_mode parameter where the value is either "ANY" or "ALL".
Note that the -live-hard-die-fast flag is enabled by default. That is to enable a number of performace-related PRAGMA commands (described here and here) without which database index can be prohibitive and time-consuming. These is a small but unlikely chance of database corruptions when this flag is enabled.
Also note that the -live-hard-die-fast flag will cause the PAGE_SIZE and CACHE_SIZE PRAGMAs to be set to 4096 and 1000000 respectively so the eventual cache size will require 4GB of memory. This is probably fine on most systems where you'll be indexing data but I am open to the idea that we may need to revisit those numbers or at least make them configurable.
RTree indexes are available if SQLite has been compiled with the R*Tree module and you have indexed the rtree, spr and properties tables. For example:
$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
-index-alt-files \
-rtree \
-spr \
-properties \
-timings \
-database-uri modernc:///usr/local/ca-alt.db \
/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-data-admin-ca/
Indexing time will vary depending on the specifics of your hardware (available RAM, CPU, disk I/O) but as a rule building indexes with the geometries table will take longer, and create a larger database, than doing so without. For example indexing the whosonfirst-data repository with spatial indexes:
$> ./bin/wof-sqlite-index-features \
-driver spatialite \
-all \
-geometries \
-database-uri modernc:///usr/local/data/dist/sqlite/whosonfirst-data-latest.db \
-timings \
/usr/local/data/whosonfirst-data
...time passes...

As of this writing individual tables are indexed atomically. There may be some improvements to be made indexing tables in separate Go routines but my hunch is this will make SQLite sad and cause a lot of table lock errors. I don't need to be right about that, though...
