It's unclear for me how ElasticSearch 8 compare with GeoMesa, for geo-spatial queries.

With ElasticSearch, I can index and query Point/Line/Polygon/MultiPolygon with very high performance.

Since few years, ElasticSearch has received lot of improvment of the geo part.

So what are the usecases for GeoMesa exactly ?

Thanks

Welcome to our community! 😃

You might need to link to/explain what GeoMesa is. I haven't see it mentioned here previously.

It allows for storing Point/Line/Polygon and query
