@aashish24 please edit/comment as necessary.

Use geopy to add geocoding capability to Gaia

new GeocodeProcess class
use the geocoder specified in process argument (options include OpenStreetMap Nominatim, ESRI ArcGIS, Google Geocoding API (V3), Baidu Maps, Bing Maps API, Yahoo! PlaceFinder, Yandex, IGN France, GeoNames, NaviData, OpenMapQuest, What3Words, OpenCage, SmartyStreets, geocoder.us, and GeocodeFarm)
default geocoder if none specified will be: Google?
Allow reverse geocoding option (given coordinates, find nearest placename)
Output.data should be a geopandas dataframe

@mbertrand there are two parts to it. Geocoding and reverse geocoding and geocoding for tweets. Geocoding for tweets is a high priority. I will send a document to essam and you in an email.

Also, @jbeezley has developed some code in the past that can ingest geonames database and have our own geocoding services.
