Importing OpenStreetMap data into MongoDB

Importing OpenStreetMap data into MongoDB

In many recent MongoDB related presentations I have used OpenStreetMap data as basis for most of my examples. I wrote a script that imports OpenStreetMap (OSM) nodes, ways and to a lesser extend relations into MongoDB with a specific and optimal schema. I have written about this briefly before in Indexing Freeform-Tagged Data, but now MongoDB received numerous updates to geospatial indexes I find it warrants a new article.

There was an epic profiling effort made by the Twig team to get the conversion committable -- and then Alex Pott honored them by committing patches one by one instead of rolled together to give them credit. Same with the views rename method patches. Big, big kudos to Ale...
