# EarthCatalog

<img src="docs/earthcatalog.png" alt="EarthCatalog Logo" width="200"/>

A library for processing STAC items into spatially partitioned GeoParquet catalogs.

## Why EarthCatalog?

**The Problem**: Working with massive collections of geospatial data (satellite imagery, drone surveys, IoT sensors) is challenging because:

- Traditional databases struggle with spatial queries at scale
- Files become too large to process efficiently
- Spatial overlap makes data organization complex
- Updates may require full rebuilds

**EarthCatalog** transforms STAC items into fast, spatially-partitioned GeoParquet catalogs that:

- **Eliminate full table scans** - Query only relevant spatial partitions using spatial hive-partition pruning first.
- **Scale to terabytes** - Each partition is independently manageable
- **Support incremental updates** - Add new data without rebuilding the whole catalog
- **Handle complex geometries** - Smart global partitioning for multi-region items

## Key Features

- **Smart Spatial Partitioning**: Multiple grid systems (H3, S2, UTM, MGRS, LatLon, Custom geojson)
- **Global Partition Schema**: Auto-routes large/complex geometries to global partitions
- **Temporal Binning**: Year, month, or day-based time partitioning
- **Distributed Processing**: Local multi-threading or Dask distributed
- **Incremental Updates**: Merge new data with existing partitions

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install earthcatalog

# With distributed processing support
pip install "earthcatalog[dask]"
```

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Process STAC URLs into a spatial catalog
stac-ingest \
  --input stac_urls.parquet \
  --output ./catalog \
  --scratch ./scratch \
  --workers 4

# Generate schema metadata for efficient querying (enabled by default)
stac-ingest \
  --input stac_urls.parquet \
  --output ./catalog \
  --scratch ./scratch \
  --workers 4
```

### Example: Create Input Data

```python
import pandas as pd

# Sample STAC item URLs
urls = [
    "https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1/collections/sentinel-2-l2a/items/S2A_20240101_123456",
    "https://earth-search.aws.element84.com/v1/collections/landsat-8-c2-l2/items/LC08_20240103_345678",
]

df = pd.DataFrame({"url": urls})
df.to_parquet("stac_urls.parquet", index=False)
```

## Configuration Examples

```bash
# Use S2 grid with daily partitioning
stac-ingest --input urls.parquet --output ./catalog --scratch ./scratch \
  --grid s2 --grid-resolution 13 --temporal-bin day

# Enable global partitioning with custom thresholds
stac-ingest --input urls.parquet --output ./catalog --scratch ./scratch \
  --global-thresholds-file custom-thresholds.json

# Distributed processing with Dask
stac-ingest --input s3://bucket/urls.parquet --output s3://bucket/catalog \
  --scratch s3://bucket/scratch --processor dask --workers 16
```

### Example: Efficient Spatial Queries

```python
# Traditional approach (slow - scans entire catalog)
import geopandas as gpd
from shapely.geometry import box

roi = box(-122.5, 37.7, -122.0, 38.0)  # San Francisco area
df = gpd.read_parquet("catalog/**/*.parquet")  # Reads EVERYTHING
results = df[df.intersects(roi)]
print(f"Found {len(results)} items (but scanned entire catalog)")

# EarthCatalog approach (fast - scans only relevant partitions)
from earthcatalog.spatial_resolver import spatial_resolver
import duckdb

resolver = spatial_resolver("catalog/catalog_schema.json")
partitions = resolver.resolve_partitions(roi)
paths = resolver.generate_query_paths(partitions)

result = duckdb.sql(f"SELECT * FROM read_parquet({paths})").df()
print(f"Found {len(result)} items (scanned only {len(partitions)} partitions)")

# Remote schema files (S3, GCS, Azure, HTTP) - requires fsspec
resolver = spatial_resolver("s3://my-bucket/catalog_schema.json", "s3://my-bucket/catalog/")
resolver = spatial_resolver("https://example.com/schema.json", "./local-catalog/")
```

## Output Structure

Uses Hive-style temporal partitioning for optimal query pruning in DuckDB, Athena, and Spark:

```
catalog/
├── {mission}/
│   └── partition=h3/
│       └── level=2/
│           ├── 8928308280fffff/
│           │   └── year=2024/
│           │       ├── month=01/
│           │       │   └── items.parquet  # January 2024 items
│           │       └── month=02/
│           │           └── items.parquet
│           └── global/
│               └── year=2024/
│                   └── month=01/
│                       └── items.parquet  # Large geometries spanning multiple cells
└── catalog_schema.json  # Generated metadata for efficient querying (enabled by default)
```

## Schema Metadata and Efficient Querying

EarthCatalog generates comprehensive metadata about your catalog's partitioning scheme by default:

```bash
# Schema is generated by default
stac-ingest --input urls.parquet --output ./catalog --scratch ./scratch

# Use custom schema filename
stac-ingest --input urls.parquet --output ./catalog --scratch ./scratch \
  --schema-filename my_catalog_schema.json

# Disable schema generation
stac-ingest --input urls.parquet --output ./catalog --scratch ./scratch \
  --no-generate-schema
```

The generated schema includes:

- **Grid system details**: Type, resolution, cell sizes, coordinate system
- **Partition structure**: All spatial and temporal partitions created
- **Usage examples**: DuckDB queries for efficient partition pruning
- **Statistics**: Item counts, partition counts, processing info

### Automatic Global Partition Detection

The resolver intelligently includes the **global partition** when needed:

```python
# Threshold-based inclusion (queries spanning many cells include global)
large_area = box(-130, 30, -110, 50)  # Multi-state region
partitions = resolver.resolve_partitions(large_area)
# Includes 'global' because query spans > threshold cells

# Geography-based inclusion (continental-scale areas include global)
continental = box(-180, -60, 180, 80)  # Nearly global extent
partitions = resolver.resolve_partitions(continental)
# Includes 'global' because geometry area > large geometry threshold

# Manual control when needed
partitions_no_global = resolver.resolve_partitions(large_area, include_global=False)
partitions_force_global = resolver.resolve_partitions(small_area, include_global=True)
```

### Remote Schema Files

The `spatial_resolver()` function supports schema files stored in cloud storage or remote locations:

```python
from earthcatalog.spatial_resolver import spatial_resolver

# S3 (requires fsspec[s3])
resolver = spatial_resolver("s3://my-bucket/catalog_schema.json", "s3://my-bucket/catalog/")

# Google Cloud Storage (requires fsspec[gcs])
resolver = spatial_resolver("gs://my-bucket/catalog_schema.json", "gs://my-bucket/catalog/")

# Azure Blob Storage (requires fsspec[azure])
resolver = spatial_resolver("abfs://container/catalog_schema.json", "abfs://container/catalog/")

# HTTP/HTTPS
resolver = spatial_resolver("https://example.com/catalog_schema.json", "./local-catalog/")

# Mixed: Remote schema with local catalog
resolver = spatial_resolver("s3://bucket/schema.json", "/local/catalog/")
```

**Requirements:**

- Install fsspec with appropriate extras: `pip install fsspec[s3]`, `fsspec[gcs]`, `fsspec[azure]`
- The `catalog_path` parameter is required for remote schema files
- Authentication follows fsspec conventions (AWS credentials, service accounts, etc.)

### Grid-Specific Resolution

**Key Benefits:**

- **Automatic Resolution**: No need to manually calculate grid intersections
- **All Grid Systems**: Works with H3, S2, MGRS, UTM, LatLon, and custom GeoJSON
- **Configurable Overlap**: Control boundary handling and buffer zones
- **Performance**: Query only relevant partitions instead of full catalog scan
- **DuckDB Integration**: Generates ready-to-use file path patterns

## ⚡ Performance Benchmarks
