[Photon] Best way to import custom data into Photon ?

[Christoph Lingg]

Salut Guillaume,

one possibility is to create a json-like file with a given structure, see example attached. You can import this file to elasticsearch directly with this command: 

> curl -s -XPOST localhost:9200/photon/place/_bulk --data-binary @data.json; echo
see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html>

btw, I cannot recall if it was localhost:9200/photon/place/_bulk or localhost:9200/photon/_bulk You will find out yourself, let us know please.

And about the json structure, ask if you have question. Here is another example that has more features:
> {
>     "osm_key": "amenity",
>     "coordinate": {
>       "lon": 10.16707863354695,
>       "lat": 47.34246885
>     },
>     "street": {
>       "de": "Walserstraße",
>       "default": "Walserstraße"
>     },
>     "state": {
>       "de": "Vorarlberg",
>       "default": "Vorarlberg",
>       "it": "Vorarlberg",
>       "fr": "Vorarlberg",
>       "en": "Vorarlberg"
>     },
>     "osm_type": "R",
>     "housenumber": "264",
>     "postcode": "6993",
>     "osm_value": "townhall",
>     "city": {
>       "de": "Mittelberg",
>       "default": "Mittelberg"
>     },
>     "country": {
>       "default": "Österreich",
>       "it": "Austria",
>       "fr": "Autriche",
>       "en": "Austria"
>     },
>     "importance": 0,
>     "extent": {
>       "type": "envelope",
>       "coordinates": [
>         [
>           10.1665299,
>           47.3427821
>         ],
>         [
>           10.167572,
>           47.3421556
>         ]
>       ]
>     },
>     "name": {
>       "default": "Walserhaus"
>     },
>     "context": {},
>     "osm_id": 1876856
>   }
Pay attention to the importance field: it is a value between 0 and 1 and will (also) be used for ranking search matches. 0 = places of little importance (cafe), 1= super important (capital of a country).

Cheers,
Christoph
