Dimension Type Attributes Quick Reference¶

In the following tables, the valid attributes for each dimension type are specified. The column labeled “Q” indicates which attributes are for query usage only. “D” indicates that the column impacts indexing at when the dimension is created.

Columns labeled “Q” can be set on the dimension and omitted from the query, effectively setting a common default for all queries against the dimension.

Geoloc¶

Attribute	Q	Example	Notes
type	D	type = “geoloc”
id		id = “name of dimension”
longitude		longitude = “changeset_property“
latitude		latitude = “changeset_property“
shapes	Q	shapes = “”
delimiters		delimiters = ”,”	used to create lists
distanceUnit	Q	distanceUnit = “km”	Specifies the default distance unit to be used for queries against this dimension. May also be explicitly specified at query time. Supported values are miles and km.
zipcode		zipcode = “changeset_property“	Deprecated
zipcodeResource	D		Deprecated.

stripHTML	D	stripHTML = “true”	Default = false
phoneticAlgorithm	D	phoneticAlgorithm = “metaphone”	Valid values:
			soundex, refinedSoundex
