Conditional queries and supporting indexes
Tim Bauer
Hi, I'm currently assessing whether tiledb would be a promising solution for a point cloud project I am working on.
Fast spatial indexing is already a great benefit, but I need to know whether it is possible to index the data on other attributes as well and whether conditional queries on these attributes are possible/will be possible at some point.
A typical use case would for example involve the "ReturnNumber" integer attribute of a point cloud and querying all points within a certain area for which ReturnNumber = 0. I'm aware that I can do that with tiledb after having used spatial indexing, but point clouds can be very large and I would like to avoid loading the entire area first.
Would it be possible in this case to create an index for the "ReturnNumber" attribute and use it for queries instead of or in addition to the spatial index?
Thanks a lot, I would greatly appreciate a short answer!
