Geo query includes geo-distance query, geo-bounding box query, and geo-polygon query.
Prerequisites
- An OTSClient instance is initialized. For more information, see Initialization.
- A data table is created. Data is written to the table.
- A search index is created for the data table. For more information, see Create search indexes.
Geo-distance query
You can use geo-distance query to specify a circular geographical area consisting of a central point and radius as a filter condition in a query. Tablestore returns the rows where the values of a specified column fall within the circular geographical area.
- Parameters
Parameter Description table_name The name of the table. index_name The name of the search index. query The query statement for the search index. To use geo-distance query, set the query type to QueryTypeConst::GEO_DISTANCE_QUERY. field_name The name of the column used to match the query conditions. The specified column must be a GEOPOINT column. center_point The coordinate pair of the central point. The value of this parameter is of the GEOPOINT data type in the following format: latitude,longitude
. Valid values of the latitude: [-90,+90]. Valid values of the longitude: [-180,+180]. Example:35.8,-45.91
.distance The radius of the circular geographical area. The value of this parameter is of the DOUBLE data type. Unit: meters. - Examples
The following code provides an example on how to query rows where the values of the geo column fall within the circular geographical area whose central point is
30.001,120.001
and radius is 1,000 meters:$request = array( 'table_name' => 'php_sdk_test', 'index_name' => 'php_sdk_test_search_index', 'search_query' => array( 'offset' => 0, 'limit' => 2, 'get_total_count' => true, 'query' => array( 'query_type' => QueryTypeConst::GEO_DISTANCE_QUERY, 'query' => array( 'field_name' => 'geo', 'center_point' => '30.001,120.001', 'distance' => 1000 ) ), 'sort' => array( array( 'geo_distance_sort' => array( 'field_name' => 'geo', 'order' => SortOrderConst::SORT_ORDER_ASC, 'distance_type' => GeoDistanceTypeConst::GEO_DISTANCE_PLANE, 'points' => array('30,120') ) ), ) ), 'columns_to_get' => array( 'return_type' => ColumnReturnTypeConst::RETURN_SPECIFIED, 'return_names' => array('geo') ) ); $response = $otsClient->search($request);
Geo-bounding box query
You can use geo-distance query to specify a rectangular geographical area. Tablestore returns the rows where the values of a specified column fall within the rectangular geographical area.
- Parameters
Parameter Description table_name The name of the table. index_name The name of the search index. query The query statement for the search index. To use geo-bounding query, set the query type to QueryTypeConst::GEO_BOUNDING_BOX_QUERY. field_name The name of the column used to match the query conditions. The specified column must be a GEOPOINT column. top_left The coordinate pair of the upper-left corner of the rectangle box. bottom_right The coordinate pair of the lower-right corner of the rectangle box. A rectangular geographical area can be specified by a upper-left corner and a lower-right corner. The value of this parameter is in the following format:
latitude,longitude
. Valid values of the latitude: [-90,+90]. Valid values of the longitude: [-180,+180]. Example:35.8,-45.91
. - Examples
The following code provides an example on how to query rows where the values of the geo column fall within the rectangular geographical area whose upper-left corner is at
31,119
and lower-right corner at29,121
.$request = array( 'table_name' => 'php_sdk_test', 'index_name' => 'php_sdk_test_search_index', 'search_query' => array( 'offset' => 0, 'limit' => 2, 'get_total_count' => true, 'query' => array( 'query_type' => QueryTypeConst::GEO_BOUNDING_BOX_QUERY, 'query' => array( 'field_name' => 'geo', 'top_left' => '31,119', 'bottom_right' => '29,121' ) ), 'sort' => array( array( 'geo_distance_sort' => array( 'field_name' => 'geo', 'order' => SortOrderConst::SORT_ORDER_ASC, 'distance_type' => GeoDistanceTypeConst::GEO_DISTANCE_PLANE, 'points' => array('30,120') ) ), ) ), 'columns_to_get' => array( 'return_type' => ColumnReturnTypeConst::RETURN_SPECIFIED, 'return_names' => array('geo') ) ); $response = $otsClient->search($request);
Geo-polygon query
You can use geo-polygon query to specify a polygonal geographical area. Tablestore returns the rows where the values of a specified column fall within the polygonal geographical area.
- Parameters
Parameter Description table_name The name of the table. index_name The name of the search index. query The query statement for the search index. To use geo-polygon query, set the query type to QueryTypeConst::GEO_POLYGON_QUERY. field_name The name of the column used to match the query conditions. The specified column must be a GEOPOINT column. points The coordinate pairs of points that uniquely define the polygon geographical area. You can specify a polygon by using multiple coordinates in the following format: latitude,longitude
. Valid values of the latitude: [-90,+90]. Valid values of the longitude: [-180,+180]. Example:35.8,-45.91
. - Examples
The following code provides an example on how to query rows where the values of the geo column fall within the polygonal geographical area defined by the coordinate pairs of
31,120

, and29,119
:$request = array( 'table_name' => 'php_sdk_test', 'index_name' => 'php_sdk_test_search_index', 'search_query' => array( 'offset' => 0, 'limit' => 2, 'get_total_count' => true, 'query' => array( 'query_type' => QueryTypeConst::GEO_POLYGON_QUERY, 'query' => array( 'field_name' => 'geo', 'points' => array( "31,120", "29,121", "29,119" ) ) ), 'sort' => array( array( 'geo_distance_sort' => array( 'field_name' => 'geo', 'order' => SortOrderConst::SORT_ORDER_ASC, 'distance_type' => GeoDistanceTypeConst::GEO_DISTANCE_PLANE, 'points' => array('30,120') ) ), ) ), 'columns_to_get' => array( 'return_type' => ColumnReturnTypeConst::RETURN_SPECIFIED, 'return_names' => array('geo') ) ); $response = $otsClient->search($request);
