GeoWave is an open source set of software that:

• Capabilities
  • Adds multi-dimensional indexing capability to Apache Accumulo
  • Adds support for geographic objects and geospatial operators to Apache Accumulo
  • Provides Map-Reduce input and output formats for distributed processing and analysis of geospatial data
• Geospatial software plugins
  • GeoServer plugin to allow geospatial data in Accumulo to be shared and visualized via OGC standard services
  • PDAL plugin for working with point cloud data
  • Mapnik plugin for generating map tiles and generally making good looking maps.

Basically, GeoWave is working to bridge geospatial software with distributed compute systems.

• Check out our GeoWave io page page for detailed documentation.
• A changelog is available which details the changes and features for each of our github releases

• We have a RPM repository
  • See Documentation: Installation from RPM for more info.
  • Deb packages if enough people request them
• We have Maven artifact repositories (indexes not enabled, but it works in a maven repo fragment)
  • Releases: http://geowave-maven.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/release
  • Snapshots: http://geowave-maven.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/snapshot (nightly)
• We have a vagrant dev environment
• We have a development all in one RPM package: "geowave-cdh5-single-host"
• And you can always build from source

• GeoWave is on the project list for the Google Summer of Code.
• GeoWave is currently in the process of moving to a permanent home under LocationTech and the Eclipse Foundation.
• Community support is available on chat and on our mailing list.

See Screenshots in the documentation for more information.

We work to maintain a N and N-1 tested and supported version pace for the following core libraries.

• Apache Maven 3.x or greater is required for building
• Java Advanced Imaging and Java Image I/O should both be installed on geoserver (license prohibits us redistributing)
• See our .travis.yml file for the currently tested build matrix.

GeoWave was developed at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) in collaboration with RadiantBlue Technologies and Booz Allen Hamilton. The government has "unlimited rights" and is releasing this software to increase the impact of government investments by providing developers with the opportunity to take things in new directions. The software use, modification, and distribution rights are stipulated within the Apache 2.0 license.

All pull request contributions to this project will be released under the Apache 2.0 or compatible license. Software source code previously released under an open source license and then modified by NGA staff is considered a "joint work" (see 17 USC § 101); it is partially copyrighted, partially public domain, and as a whole is protected by the copyrights of the non-government authors and must be released according to the terms of the original open source license.
