GeoPlanet data with ancestor chain cache imported in 10 minutes

Yahoo! provides its GeoPlanet data as three separate TSV files, available for download here.

That's a database with some 17 million records:

• 5.7 million records: locations (aka places).
• 2.2 million records: alternative names for each place (aka aliases).
• 9.6 million records: matrix of neighbourhoods per place (aka adjacencies).
