Add options for "override all values" and "geometry types" in the georeference analysis #135

Open javierarce opened 8 years ago

javierarce commented 8 years ago

For this ticket https://github.com/CartoDB/cartodb/issues/8742 we'd need to add two new params:

A way to specify the output geometry of the georeference (in the cases where it makes sense; for instance, the lat and long type will always output points)
A way to override the georeference data already present in the rows so they can be georeferenced again.

AFAIK the only one geocoder that allows different output geometry types is postal-code. BTW I'm going to allow that from camshaft's side.

This point has some implications, I'm going to open a different issue to answer underlying questions and see how to approach that.

I guess that means that the analysis should accept a param to decide the output geometry type.

A way to override the georeference data already present in the rows so they can be georeferenced again.

Let's decide about this later.
