[OSM-dev] planet.openstreetmap.org/replication policy

[Oliver Tonnhofer]

Hi,

I'm the author of Imposm 3 (https://github.com/omniscale/imposm3/) and I'm working on a new command that will automatically download and import diff files from planet.openstreetmap.org as they appear.

Normally, it should only make two requests per minute when using minutely replication. One for the state and one for the osc.gz file. But after the initial import it will download the diff files as fast as Imposm can import them till it catches up with the live updates.

A fast server should be able to process 100 diffs per second and more, especially when only a smaller extract is imported. My question: Is this OK, or should I add a throttle for this?

PS: The User-Agent is set to "Imposm 3 x.x.x".


Regards,
Oliver
