Parallel PostGIS Testing

Create a database, enable PostGIS and load the polling divisions.

createdb parallel
psql -c 'create extension postgis' -d parallel
wget http://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/vector/electoral/2015/pd338.2015.zip

Installing PostGIS

PGDG Yum Repository

https://yum.postgresql.org/

yum install postgis24_10

So, it looks like COPY support will have to be divided into two parts, /copyfrom and /copyto, which is fine. They are both interesting, in that since the idea is to support scaling, the implementations absolutely must stream, rather than taking files or holding data in memory.

The parts needed are

The node-postgres add-on for handling streaming COPY, https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-copy-streams
The node middleware for reading multi-part form data https://github.com/expressjs/multer, so that a POST file upload can be read
An implementation of a multer custom storage engine to bind the upload stream to the copy stream https://github.com/expressjs/multer/blob/master/StorageEngine.md

The parts do in fact all fit together and work, as can been seen in this small proof-of-concept:

PostGIS && GIS

cdb-manager

A simple browser-based terminal for running SQL against Carto using the SQL API

http://github.com/cartodb/cdb-manager
git clone [email protected]:CartoDB/cdb-manager.git
When you're done cloning, enter the directory and run ./httpserv.py
Point your browser at http://locahost:8000
