Getting started and vector tiles #50

Closed westover closed 6 years ago

westover commented 7 years ago

I am trying to get started with this plugin and trying to understand its configuration. We have some time dependent spatial data which is being stored in elastic search. I have a specific doctype for these objects. This ends up meaning that the data is split across different indices. Do I specify a specific index and then a regex for the search indices?

If you're using index aliases you can use the alias for the index name. With the support for index aliases (added in #47) the search_indices parameter can maybe be removed. But your description is how it would be used if you're not using index aliases ... the index_name would be one of the indices (e.g. the_index_2017) so the plugin can read the schema and the search_indices would be the relevant multi-index expression (e.g. the_index*).

Do you have a place where I can look to see what a typical query would look like when a TMS request is made through GWC?

You can turn up logging to see the Elasticsearch queries being executed for your requests. See https://github.com/ngageoint/elasticgeo/blob/master/gs-web-elasticsearch/doc/index.rst#configuring-logging.

Are there any plans to be able to specify doctype?

The index is configured when you create the Elasticsearch data store and you choose the type when you create the layer from the store (see http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/webadmin/layers.html#add-a-layer).
