Spatial Module

(Versions 2.2 and after only)Replacement for Spatial-Index

OrientDB offers a brand new module to handle geospatial information provided as external plugin.

Install

Download the plugin jar from maven central

http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/orientechnologies/orientdb-spatial/VERSION/orientdb-spatial-VERSION-dist.jar

where VERSION must be the same of the OrientDB installation. After download, copy the jar to orient lib directory. On *nix system it could be done this way:

wget  http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/orientechnologies/orientdb-spatial/VERSION/orientdb-spatial-VERSION-dist.jar
cp orientdb-spatial-VERSION-dist.jar /PATH/orientdb-community-VERSION/lib/

Orient db will load the spatial plugin on startup.

Geometry Data

OrientDB supports the following Geometry objects :

  • Point
  • Line
  • Polygon
  • MultiPoint
  • MultiLine
  • MultiPolygon
  • Geometry Collections

OrientDB stores those objects like embedded documents with special classes. The module creates abstract classes that represent each Geometry object type, and those classes can be embedded in user defined classes to provide geospatial information.

Each spatial classes (Geometry Collection excluded) comes with field coordinates that will be used to store the geometry structure. The "coordinates" field of a geometry object is composed of one position (Point), an array of positions (LineString or MultiPoint), an array of arrays of positions (Polygons, MultiLineStrings) or a multidimensional array of positions (MultiPolygon).

Geometry data Example

Restaurants Domain

CREATE class Restaurant
CREATE PROPERTY Restaurant.name STRING
CREATE PROPERTY Restaurant.location EMBEDDED OPoint

To insert restaurants with location

From SQL

INSERT INTO  Restaurant SET name = 'Dar Poeta', location = {"@class": "OPoint","coordinates" : [12.4684635,41.8914114]}

or as an alternative, if you use WKT format you can use the function ST_GeomFromText to create the OrientDB geometry object.

INSERT INTO  Restaurant SET name = 'Dar Poeta', location = St_GeomFromText("POINT (12.4684635 41.8914114)")

From JAVA

ODocument location = new ODocument("OPoint");
location.field("coordinates", Arrays.asList(12.4684635, 41.8914114));

ODocument doc = new ODocument("Restaurant");
doc.field("name","Dar Poeta");
doc.field("location",location);

doc.save();

OrientDB follows The Open Geospatial Consortium OGC for extending SQL to support spatial data. OrientDB implements a subset of SQL-MM functions with ST prefix (Spatial Type)

Functions

----------
POINT (12.4684635 41.8914114)

ST_GeomFromText

Syntax : ST_GeomFromText(text)

Example

select ST_GeomFromText("POINT (12.4684635 41.8914114)")

Result
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"@type":"d","@version":0,"@class":"OPoint","coordinates":[12.4684635,41.8914114]}

ST_Equals

Returns true if geom1 is spatially equal to geom2

Syntax : ST_Equals(geom1,geom2)

Example


SELECT ST_Equals(ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 10 10)'), ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 5 5, 10 10)'))

Result
-----------
true

ST_Within

Returns true if geom1 is inside geom2

Syntax : ST_Within(geom1,geom2)

This function will use an index if available.

Example

select * from City where  ST_WITHIN(location,'POLYGON ((12.314015 41.8262816, 12.314015 41.963125, 12.6605063 41.963125, 12.6605063 41.8262816, 12.314015 41.8262816))') = true

ST_Contains

Returns true if geom1 contains geom2

Syntax : ST_Contains(geom1,geom2)

This function will use an index if available.

Example

SELECT ST_Contains(ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'),10),ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'))

Result
----------
true
SELECT ST_Contains(ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'),10),ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'),20))

Result
----------
false

ST_Disjoint

Returns true if geom1 does not spatially intersects geom2

Syntax: St_Disjoint(geom1,geom2)

This function does not use indexes

Example

SELECT ST_Disjoint(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'), ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING ( 2 0, 0 2 )'));

Result
-----------------
true
SELECT ST_Disjoint(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'), ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING ( 0 0, 0 2 )'));

Result
-----------------
false

ST_Intersects

Returns true if geom1 spatially intersects geom2

Syntax: ST_Intersects(geom1,geom2)

Example

SELECT ST_Intersects(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'), ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING ( 2 0, 0 2 )'));

Result
-------------
false
SELECT ST_Intersects(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'), ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING ( 0 0, 0 2 )'));

Result
-------------
true

ST_AsBinary

Returns the Well-Known Binary (WKB) representation of the geometry

Syntax : ST_AsBinary(geometry)

Example

SELECT ST_AsBinary(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(0 0)'))

ST_Envelope

Returns a geometry representing the bounding box of the supplied geometry

Syntax : ST_Envelope(geometry)

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Envelope(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(1 3)')));

Result
----------
POINT (1 3)
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Envelope(ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(0 0, 1 3)')))

Result
-----------------------------------
POLYGON ((0 0, 0 3, 1 3, 1 0, 0 0))

ST_Buffer

Returns a geometry that represents all points whose distance from this Geometry is less than or equal to distance.

Syntax: ST_Buffer(geometry,distance [,config])

where config is an additional parameter (JSON) that can be use to set:

quadSegs: int -> number of segments used to approximate a quarter circle (defaults to 8).

{ 
  quadSegs : 1
}

endCap : round|flat|square -> endcap style (defaults to "round").

{
  endCap : 'square'
}

join : round|mitre|bevel -> join style (defaults to "round")

{ 
  join : 'bevel'
}

mitre : double -> mitre ratio limit (only affects mitered join style).

{ 
  join : 'mitre', 
  mitre : 5.0
}

Example

SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(100 90)'),50))
SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(100 90)'), 50, { quadSegs : 2 }));

Operators

A && B

Overlaps operator. Returns true if bounding box of A overlaps bounding box of B. This operator will use an index if available.

Example

CREATE CLASS TestLineString
CREATE PROPERTY TestLineString.location EMBEDDED OLineString
INSERT INTO TestLineSTring SET name = 'Test1' , location = St_GeomFromText("LINESTRING(0 0, 3 3)")
INSERT INTO TestLineSTring SET name = 'Test2' , location = St_GeomFromText("LINESTRING(0 1, 0 5)")
SELECT FROM TestLineString WHERE location && "LINESTRING(1 2, 4 6)"

Spatial Indexes

To speed up spatial search and match condition, spatial operators and functions can use a spatial index if defined to avoid sequential full scan of every records.

The current spatial index implementation is built upon lucene-spatial.

The syntax for creating a spatial index on a geometry field is :

CREATE INDEX <name> ON <class-name> (geometry-field) SPATIAL ENGINE LUCENE
