geoFence and geoFenceCircle in aerospike not returning any match in result

1

The code of query is as follow -

geoWithin: {
                    bin: 'geoFence',
                    lat: parseFloat(payload.lat.toString()),
                    lng: parseFloat(payload.lng.toString()),
                },

There is latitude and longitude matching the above query in set but the same is not showing in the output.

Can anyone help with same ?

Hey @Saksham_Patro, if I’m understanding what you are trying to do, you have records with latitude and longitude that you want to return from a query that identifies them as existing within a geoFence, is that correct?

I believe you’re using the Node client, so I’ve put together a small example that does just that:

const Aerospike = require('aerospike');
const GeoJSON = Aerospike.GeoJSON;
const batchType = Aerospike.batchType;
const op = Aerospike.operations

// Define host configuration
const config = {hosts: '127.0.0.1:3000'};

const geoWrite = async () => {
    // Create a list of points, Lng | Lat
    let places = [
        {name: "Mount Diablo", point: new GeoJSON.Point(-122.276156, 37.7467434)},
        {name: "Golden Gate", point: new GeoJSON.Point(-122.4602678, 37.7620894)},
        {name: "Big Basin", point: new GeoJSON.Point(-122.2337089, 37.4992656)},
        {name: "Pinnacles", point: new GeoJSON.Point(-121.5499273, 36.5451009)},
        {name: "Muir Beach", point: new GeoJSON.Point(-122.5958625, 37.8664261)},
        {name: "Point Molate Beach", point: new GeoJSON.Point(-122.389274, 37.9636355)}
    ]

    let batchRecords = []
    // Write the records
    for(let i = 0; i < places.length; i++){
        batchRecords.push({
            type: batchType.BATCH_WRITE,
            key: new Aerospike.Key('sandbox', 'test', i + 1),
            ops: [
                op.write('name', places[i].name),
                op.write('point', places[i].point),
            ]
        })
    }

    // Connect to server
    let client = await Aerospike.connect(config);
    
    // Write the records
    await client.batchWrite(batchRecords);
    console.info("Records created");

    // Close the connection to the server
    client.close();
}

const geoQuery = async () => {
    // Create geo region,  Lng | Lat | Radius in meters
    let region  = new GeoJSON.Circle(-122.0988349, 37.4212823, 50000);
    
    // Connect to server
    let client = await Aerospike.connect(config);
    
    // Create index job
    let indexJob = await client.createGeo2DSphereIndex({
        ns: 'sandbox', // namespace
        set: 'test', // set name
        bin: 'point', // bin name
        index: 'geo_idx', // index name
    });

    // Wait for the task to complete
    await indexJob.wait()
    console.info('Index created');

    // Create the query
    let query = client.query('sandbox', 'test');

    // Set the query filter
    query.where(Aerospike.filter.geoWithinGeoJSONRegion('point', region));

    //Execute the query
    await query.foreach(null,
        (record) => console.info("Place: %o\n", record.bins),
        (err) => console.log(err),
        () => client.close()
    );
}

The geoWrite() function writes a handful of records that have names and coordinates, and the geoQuery() function creates the geoIndex and queries the data with a circular region 100km wide (50km radius). You can try to run this in the sandbox as well.

Hope this helps!
