Using Spatial Data In Elasticsearch

Exercise Data

The repository contains some sample data which we'll use for the exercise. All the data can be found in: elasticsearch-spatial/exercise_data

The directory contains two archives which will be unpacked when the virtual machine is created:

  • Melbourne_accident.zip
  • Melbourne-Localities.zip

The data we're going to use is information on road accidents and suburb boundaries. Both datasets are available for download via the Victorian (Australia) State Government Data Directory.

The road accident information is a point dataset and the suburb boundary dataset is a polygon dataset.
