Does Redis support geospatial data?
Does Redis support geospatial data?
Redis lacks dedicated data types for geospatial objects. Instead, points are stored in sorted sets. We do not have to worry about this in practice, as Redis automatically computes the geohash and stores an internal representation of it.
How does Redis Geo work?
The Geo Set Each Geo Set is made up of one or more members, with each member consisting of a unique identifier and a longitude/latitude pair. Similar to all of the data structures in Redis, Geo Sets are manipulated and queried using a subset of simple-to-use and at the same time highly optimal commands.
What is geospatial indexing?
With the spatio-temporal library, you can use functions to index points within a region, on a region containing points, and points within a radius to enable fast queries on this data during location analysis.
When performing a Georadius search what units can the radius be specified in?
The radius is specified in one of the following units: m for meters. km for kilometers.
What are the various tools and techniques for spatial indexing?

Does Redis limit longitude values?
There are limits to the coordinates that can be indexed: areas very near to the poles are not indexable. The exact limits, as specified by EPSG:900913 / EPSG:3785 / OSGEO:41001 are the following: Valid longitudes are from -180 to 180 degrees. Valid latitudes are from -85.05112878 to 85.05112878 degrees.
How do you get Geohash?
From the GPS coordinates, the geohash is calculated by creating two binary strings, one for the longitude and one for the latitude, by dichotomy of the corresponding intervals. By splitting each interval into 2 equal parts and noting 0 the left interval and 1 the right interval.
What are spatial data types?
Spatial data are of two types according to the storing technique, namely, raster data and vector data. Vector data are composed of points, polylines, and polygons. Wells, houses, etc., are represented by points. Roads, rivers, streams, etc., are represented by polylines.
What is spatial technologies?
Spatial technologies include any software or hardware that interacts with real world locations. Examples include, but are not limited to, virtual maps, satellite images, global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing and augmented reality.
