Tablestore:Geo queries

Last Updated:Aug 07, 2026

Use the Tablestore SDK for Go to query a Geo-point field by circular, rectangular, or polygonal geographic ranges.

Prerequisites

Install the Tablestore Go SDK and initialize a client.

Description

A geo query matches Geo-point values within a specified geographic area. Geo distance, geo bounding box, and geo polygon queries are supported. All three query types use the latitude,longitude format. Latitude ranges from -90 to +90, and longitude ranges from -180 to +180. Example: 35.8,-45.91.

func (client *tablestore.TableStoreClient) Search(request *tablestore.SearchRequest) (*tablestore.SearchResponse, error)

Geo distance query

A geo distance query uses a coordinate as the center and matches points whose distance from the center does not exceed a specified value.

tableName := "example_table"
indexName := "example_index"

query := &search.GeoDistanceQuery{FieldName: "location", CenterPoint: "30.25,120.16", DistanceInMeter: 50000}
searchQuery := search.NewSearchQuery().
    SetQuery(query).
    SetLimit(10).
    SetGetTotalCount(true)

response, err := client.Search(&tablestore.SearchRequest{
    TableName:   tableName,
    IndexName:   indexName,
    SearchQuery: searchQuery,
    ColumnsToGet: &tablestore.ColumnsToGet{
        ReturnAllFromIndex: true,
    },
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(response.TotalCount)
fmt.Println(response.Rows)

Geo bounding box query

A geo bounding box query defines a rectangle by its top-left and bottom-right coordinates.

tableName := "example_table"
indexName := "example_index"

query := &search.GeoBoundingBoxQuery{FieldName: "location", TopLeft: "32,119", BottomRight: "29,122"}
searchQuery := search.NewSearchQuery().
    SetQuery(query).
    SetLimit(10).
    SetGetTotalCount(true)

response, err := client.Search(&tablestore.SearchRequest{
    TableName:   tableName,
    IndexName:   indexName,
    SearchQuery: searchQuery,
    ColumnsToGet: &tablestore.ColumnsToGet{
        ReturnAllFromIndex: true,
    },
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(response.TotalCount)
fmt.Println(response.Rows)

Geo polygon query

A geo polygon query connects multiple coordinates in order to form a polygon.

tableName := "example_table"
indexName := "example_index"

query := &search.GeoPolygonQuery{FieldName: "location", Points: []string{"29,119", "32,119", "32,122", "29,122"}}
searchQuery := search.NewSearchQuery().
    SetQuery(query).
    SetLimit(10).
    SetGetTotalCount(true)

response, err := client.Search(&tablestore.SearchRequest{
    TableName:   tableName,
    IndexName:   indexName,
    SearchQuery: searchQuery,
    ColumnsToGet: &tablestore.ColumnsToGet{
        ReturnAllFromIndex: true,
    },
})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(response.TotalCount)
fmt.Println(response.Rows)

Parameters

Query request

Name

Type

Description

TableName (required)

string

The name of the data table.

IndexName (required)

string

The name of the search index.

SearchQuery (required)

search.SearchQuery

The query condition and common query configurations.

ColumnsToGet (optional)

*tablestore.ColumnsToGet

The return-column configuration. If this parameter is omitted, only primary key columns are returned.

RoutingValues (optional)

[]*tablestore.PrimaryKey

Primary key values for custom routing fields. Omit this parameter if custom routing is not configured.

TimeoutMs (optional)

*int32

The request timeout period in milliseconds.

Query configuration

Name

Type

Description

SetQuery (required)

search.Query

Specifies the query condition.

SetOffset (optional)

int32

Specifies the start position. Default value: 0. For offset-based pagination, Offset + Limit cannot exceed 100,000.

SetLimit (optional)

int32

Specifies the maximum number of rows to return. Default value: 10. Maximum value: 100. A value of 0 returns no rows.

SetCollapse (optional)

*search.Collapse

Collapses query results. For more information, see Collapse query results.

SetSort (optional)

*search.Sort

Specifies the result sort order. For more information, see Sort and paginate results.

SetGetTotalCount (optional)

bool

Specifies whether to count all matched rows. Default value: false.

SetToken (optional)

[]byte

Specifies the NextToken value returned by the previous response. This method clears Sort because the token contains the previous-page sort conditions. Do not specify Offset when you use token-based pagination.

SetSearchFilter (optional)

*search.SearchFilter

Applies a post-query filter. For more information, see Use post-query filters.

Aggregation (optional)

...search.Aggregation

Configures aggregations. For more information, see Aggregation.

GroupBy (optional)

...search.GroupBy

Configures grouping. For more information, see Aggregation.

Columns to return

Name

Type

Description

Columns (optional)
