Geospatial indexes
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The best geo index for mongodb is the new "2dsphere", which has an improved
|
||||
spherical model and provides better performance and more options when querying.
|
||||
The following fields will explicitly add a "2dsphere" index:
|
||||
|
||||
- :class:`~mongoengine.fields.PointField`
|
||||
- :class:`~mongoengine.fields.LineStringField`
|
||||
- :class:`~mongoengine.fields.PolygonField`
|
||||
|
||||
As "2dsphere" indexes can be part of a compound index, you may not want the
|
||||
automatic index but would prefer a compound index. In this example we turn off
|
||||
auto indexing and explicitly declare a compound index on ``location`` and ``datetime``::
|
||||
|
||||
class Log(Document):
|
||||
location = PointField(auto_index=False)
|
||||
datetime = DateTimeField()
|
||||
|
||||
meta = {
|
||||
'indexes': [[("location", "2dsphere"), ("datetime", 1)]]
|
||||
}

.. note:: For MongoDB < 2.4 this is still current, however the new 2dsphere
|
||||
index is a big improvement over the previous 2D model - so upgrading is
|
||||
advised.
