datastax enterprise spatial search

Problem Statement: I am currently trying to configure spatial search in Datastax Enterprise 4.0. I have lat and long as two separate columns in cassandra column family. In what way/ways can I combine lat and long into one comma separated solr spatial search field so that I can take advantage of geofilt, geodist functions. Do I need another column in cassandra which would store lat,long ?

Solution

  • Use the Solr LatLonType which maps to a Cassandra UTF8Type.
