neo4jrb + spatial

[Peter Ehrlich]

Hi 

I'm just looking in to neo4j spatial.  Is it a simple matter to get working with Ruby & Rails?  At first glance, the project docs on github don't seem all that detailed.

What are thoughts on https://github.com/craigtaverner/neo4j-spatial.rb?  

Thanks,

--Peter

Peter,
I would use the spatial packages directly from ruby, as Craig has not done a lot there lately.

Okay.

Just watch the Spatial on videography, and they showed a slide where cypher is used to query a bounding box.  Is that documented anywhere?  Or only by the tests? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/neo4j/7fBtZBLAwSY/zlKNBqteFEwJ

Cheers

Peter,
yes, the tests are probably the best docs right now. However,
depending on what you need, it should not be a problem to expose more
functionality through the indexes, especially as they are properly
supported since 1.7, configuration etc is saved between startups and
propagated through HA clusters.

What kind of functionality are you looking for? What index-syntax would that be?

Cheers,

Hi

This is good to know.  I'm only doing exploration for now, to see what tools are available & inspiring.  

An n-degree index is a good start-- to pull up nodes in a bounding box, perhaps naturally sorted by some stored popularity score.

The next step would be more complex shapes-- such as those same results along a line instead of in a box, or a box that grows to find a minimum number of results.

But the really cool stuff wouldn't be indexable.  For example, having results sorted by relevance/similarity to the current user.

Not sure what the implementation of any of these might look like though.

Cheers,

Yes,
and you should be able to do at least part of it with the existing
neo4j spatial. Let us know if you need help!

Sounds really interesting. I would love spend some time on this after
the 2.0 release.
Maybe you can update the wiki page with your findings -
