Add monitoring over an area #1

Open ethan-nelson opened 9 years ago

If the bbox is any nontrivial size, and the system checks for changeset lat/lon extent, we're going to get a lot of notifications. We should probably scan individual objects specifically and also impose a limited area for the bbox.

This may be better suited for overpass api

We could filter for changesets that wholly and solely exist within a given area.

Could this possibly work by feeding the hall monitor a custom dump?

Hey! Like an .osm file dump? Right now the system can only parse output from the planet diff files, but in theory if you were able to convert the output from any file type into a dictionary, you could run the filter functions on those dictionaries (basically filling in https://github.com/ethan-nelson/osm_hall_monitor/blob/master/osmhm/__init__.py#L42-L48 with an alternative reading and parsing function).
