vidgrind: Geospatial search

Issue #3 new
Alan Noble created an issue

Permit geospatial search using location data extracted from MTS media metadata.

Proposal:

  • Add a Geohash property to the MtsMedia entity.
  • Upon entity insertion, either supply a geohash, or compute one from the latitude & longitude extracted from MTS metadata.
  • Searching for MtsMedia at a given location is then transformed into a string search.

Note that Google Cloud Datastore does not currently have built-in support for geospatial search.
