tiler

ADVANCED

We currently provide procedures to create the following kind of tilesets:

  • Spatial index tiles (aggregates spatial indexes into tiles at specific resolutions)

  • Geometry-based MVT tiles of two types:

    • simple tilesets to visualize features individually

    • aggregation tilesets to generate aggregated point visualizations

Visit the Tilesets section to learn more about tileset types and which procedures to use in each case.

CREATE_TILESET

CREATE_TILESET(input, output_table, options)

Description

Creates a simple tileset. It differs from CREATE_SIMPLE_TILESET in that the procedure performs a previous analysis in order to find automatically the right options for the tileset. It is done by extracting all the properties to be included within the tileset and sampling the data in order to avoid BigQuery limitations. Therefore, only input and output_table are mandatory and options can be set to NULL.

  • input: STRING that can either be a quoted qualified table name (e.g. `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`) or a full query contained by parentheses (e.g.(SELECT * FROM `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`)).

  • output_table: Where the resulting table will be stored. It must be a STRING of the form `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`. The project-id can be omitted (in which case the default one will be used). The dataset must exist and the caller needs to have permissions to create a new table on it. The process will fail if the target table already exists.

  • options: STRUCT<name STRING, description STRING,legend STRING, zoom_min INT64, zoom_max INT64, geom_column_name STRING, zoom_min_column STRING, zoom_max_column STRING, max_tile_size_kb INT64, tile_feature_order STRING, drop_duplicates BOOL, extra_metadata STRING>|NULL containing the different options. Valid options are described in the table below.

warning

If a query is passed in input, it might be evaluated multiple times to generate the tileset. Thus, non-deterministic functions, such as ROW_NUMBER should be avoided. If such a function is needed, the query should be saved into a table first and then passed as input, to avoid inconsistent results.

OptionDescription

name

Default: "". A STRING that contains the name of tileset to be included in the TileJSON.

description

Default: "". A STRING that contains a description for the tileset to be included in the TileJSON.

legend

Default: "". A STRING that contains a legend for the tileset to be included in the TileJSON.

zoom_min

Default: 0 for POINTS datasets and 2 for POLYGON/LINESTRING datasets. A NUMBER that defines the minimum zoom level for tiles. Any zoom level under this level won't be generated.

zoom_max

Default: 12. A NUMBER that defines the maximum zoom level for tiles. Any zoom level over this level won't be generated.

geom_column_name

Default: "geom". A STRING that contains the name of the geography column that will be used. It must be of type GEOGRAPHY.

zoom_min_column

Default: NULL. It is the column that each row could have to modify its starting zoom. It can be NULL (then zoom_min will be used). It must be a positive number between zoom_min and zoom_max.

zoom_max_column

Default: NULL. It is the column that each row could have to modify its end zoom level. It can be NULL (then zoom_max will be used). It must be a positive number between zoom_min and zoom_max.

max_tile_size_kb

Default: 512. Maximum allowed: 6144. A NUMBER setting the approximate maximum size for a tile in kilobytes. For every zoom level, a consistent fraction of features will be dropped in every tile to make sure all generated tiles are below this maximum.

tile_feature_order

Default: NULL. A STRING defining the order in which properties are added to a tile. This expects the SQL ORDER BY keyword definition, such as "aggregated_total DESC", the "ORDER BY" part isn't necessary. Note that in aggregation tilesets you can only use columns defined as properties, but in simple feature tilesets you can use any source column no matter if it's included in the tile as property or not. This is an expensive operation, so it's recommended to only use it when necessary. If no order is provided, a custom dropping depending on the geometry type is performed. In case of POINT geometries, features are dropped randomly. In case of POLYGON geometries the features are added ordered by their area, while for LINESTRING geometries the criteria is the feature length.

drop_duplicates

Default: false. A BOOLEAN to drop duplicate features in a tile. This will drop only exact matches (both the geometry and the properties are exactly equal). As this requires sorting the properties, which is expensive, it should only be used when necessary.

extra_metadata

Default: {}. A JSON object to specify the custom metadata of the tileset.

tip

Any option left as NULL will take its default value. This also applies for geometry type dependant options such as zoom_min or tile_feature_order.

tip

A fraction_dropped_per_zoom property will be included in the TileJSON, containing an estimate of the percentage of the features that have been dropped per zoom level as a result of applying the drop_fraction_as_needed strategy. Please bear in mind that the exact percentages can be up to 5% higher.

warning

It should be taken into account that CREATE_TILESET will not be executed for any level that reaches more than 10 millions tiles. This threshold is set in order to avoid some BigQuery limitations. This could occur if the input dataset is very sparse or zoom_max is quite large.

warning

There are some cases where capacity pricing is the only option to create a tileset. Some tables containing huge geographies might trigger a Query exceeded resource limits error because of the high CPU usage.

Examples

CALL `carto-un`.carto.CREATE_TILESET(
  R'''(
    SELECT geom, type
    FROM `carto-do-public-data.natural_earth.geography_glo_roads_410`
  )
  ''',
  R'''`cartobq.maps.natural_earth_roads`''',
  NULL
);

If any of the options introduced above are required, the remaining fields should also be provided or set to NULL. Here is an example of a valid structure for the options parameter (the field alias can be ignored):

CALL `carto-un`.carto.CREATE_TILESET(
  R'''(
    SELECT geom, type

    "geom" AS geom_column_name,
    NULL AS zoom_min_column,
    NULL AS zoom_max_column,

          "layer": "layer1"
        }
      }
    ''' AS extra_metadata
  )
);

warning

In case of input is set as a query, it should be taken into account that CTEs are not allowed. Also, the query should be as simple as possible in order to avoid BigQuery limitations about the complexity of the final query.

Additional examples

CREATE_POINT_AGGREGATION_TILESET

CREATE_POINT_AGGREGATION_TILESET(input, output_table, options)

Description

Generates a point aggregation tileset.

  • input: STRING that can either be a quoted qualified table name (e.g. project-id.dataset-id.table-name) or a full query wrapped in parentheses (e.g.(Select * FROM `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`)).

  • output_table: Where the resulting table will be stored. It must be a STRING of the form project-id.dataset-id.table-name. The project-id can be omitted (in which case the default one will be used). The dataset must exist and the caller needs to have permissions to create a new table on it. The process will fail if the target table already exists.

  • options: STRING containing a valid JSON with the different options. Valid options are described the table below.

warning

If a query is passed in input, it might be evaluated multiple times to generate the tileset. Thus, non-deterministic functions, such as ROW_NUMBER should be avoided. If such a function is needed, the query should be saved into a table first and then passed as input, to avoid inconsistent results.

OptionDescription

geom_column

Default: "geom". A STRING that marks the name of the geography column that will be used. It must be of type GEOGRAPHY.

zoom_min

Default: 0. A NUMBER that defines the minimum zoom level for tiles. Any zoom level under this level won't be generated.

zoom_max

Default: 12. A NUMBER that defines the maximum zoom level for tiles. Any zoom level over this level won't be generated.

zoom_min_column

Default: NULL. It is the column that each row could have to modify its starting zoom. It can be NULL (then zoom_min will be used). When provided, if its value is greater than zoom_min, it will take precedence and be used as the actual minimum.

zoom_max_column

Default: NULL. It is the column that each row could have to modify its end zoom level. It can be NULL (then zoom_max will be used). When provided, if its value is lower than zoom_max, it will be taken as the real maximum zoom level.

target_partitions

Default: 3999. Max: 3999. A NUMBER that defines the maximum number of partitions to be used in the target table. The partition system, which uses a column named carto_partition, divides the available partitions first by zoom level and spatial locality to minimize the cost of tile read requests in web maps. Beware that this does not necessarily mean that all the partitions will be used, as a sparse dataset will leave some of these partitions unused. If you are using BigQuery BI Engine consider that it supports a maximum of 500 partitions per table.

target_tilestats

Default: true. A BOOLEAN to determine whether to include statistics of the properties in the metadata. These statistics are based on mapbox-tilestats and depend on the property type:

  • Number: MIN, MAX, AVG, SUM and quantiles (from 3 to 20 breaks).

  • String / Boolean: List of the top 10 most common values and their count.

For aggregation tilesets, these statistics refer to the cells at the maximum zoom generated.

tile_extent

Default: 4096. A NUMBER defining the extent of the tile in integer coordinates as defined by the MVT spec.

tile_buffer

Default: 0 (disabled). A NUMBER defining the additional buffer added around the tiles in extent units, which is useful to facilitate geometry stitching across tiles in the renderers. In aggregation tilesets, this property is currently not available and always 0 as no geometries go across tile boundaries.

max_tile_size_kb

Default: 1024. A NUMBER specifying the approximate maximum size for a tile.

max_tile_size_strategy

Default: "throw_error". A STRING that determines what to do when the maximum size of a tile is reached while it is still processing data. There are three options available:

  • "throw_error": The process will throw an error cancelling the aggregation, so no tiles or table will be generated.

  • "drop_fraction_as_needed": For every zoom level, this process will drop a consistent fraction of features in every tile to make sure all generated tiles are below the maximum size set in max_tile_size_kb. This could lead to features disappearing at different zoom levels. Features will be dropped according to the tile_feature_order parameter, which becomes mandatory when using this strategy.

max_tile_features

Default: 0 (disabled). A NUMBER that sets the maximum number of features a tile might contain. This limit is applied before max_tile_size_kb, i.e., the tiler will first drop as many features as needed to keep this amount, and then continue with the size limits (if required). To configure in which order features are kept, use in conjunction with tile_feature_order.

tile_feature_order

Default: "" (disabled). A STRING defining the order in which properties are added to a tile. This expects the SQL ORDER BY keyword definition, such as "aggregated_total DESC", the "ORDER BY" part isn't necessary. Note that in aggregation tilesets you can only use columns defined as properties, but in simple feature tilesets you can use any source column no matter if it's included in the tile as property or not. This is an expensive operation, so it's recommended to only use it when necessary.

aggregation_type

Default: "quadgrid". A STRING defining what kind of spatial aggregation is to be used. Currently only quadgrid is supported.

aggregation_resolution

Default: 6. A NUMBER that specifies the resolution of the spatial aggregation. For quadgrid the aggregation for zoom z is done at z + resolution level. For example, with resolution 6, the z0 tile will be divided into cells that match the z6 tiles, or the cells contained in the z10 tile will be the boundaries of the z16 tiles within them. In other words, each tile is subdivided into 4^resolution cells. Note that adding more granularity necessarily means heavier tiles which take longer to be transmitted and processed in the final client, and you are more likely to hit the internal memory limits.

aggregation_placement

Default: "cell-centroid". A STRING that defines what type of geometry will be used for the cells generated in the aggregation. For a quadgrid aggregation, there are currently four options:

  • "cell-centroid": Each feature will be defined as the centroid of the cell, that is, all points that are aggregated together into the cell will be represented in the tile by a single point.

  • "cell": Each feature will be defined as the whole cell, thus the final representation in the tile will be a polygon. This gives more precise coordinates but takes more space in the tile and requires more CPU to process it in the renderer.

  • "features-any": The point representing a feature will be any random point from the source data, that is, if 10 points fall inside a cell it will use the location of one of them to represent the cell itself

  • "features-centroid": The feature will be defined as the centroid (point) of the points that fall into the cell. Note that this only takes into account the points aggregated under a cell, and not the cell shape (as "cell-centroid" does).

metadata

Default: {}. A JSON object to specify the associated metadata of the tileset. Use this to set the name, description and legend to be included in the TileJSON. Other fields will be included in the object extra_metadata.

properties

Default: {}. A JSON object that defines the properties that will be included associated with each cell feature. Each property is defined by its name, type (Number, Boolean, String, etc.) and formula to be applied to the values of the points that fall under the cell. This formula can be any SQL formula that uses an aggregate function supported by BigQuery and returns the expected type. Note that every property different from Number will be casted to String.

warning

There are some cases where capacity pricing is the only option to create a tileset. Some tables containing huge geographies might trigger a Query exceeded resource limits error because of the high CPU usage.

Examples

CALL `carto-un`.carto.CREATE_POINT_AGGREGATION_TILESET(
  R'''(
    SELECT ST_CENTROID(geometry) as geom
    FROM `bigquery-public-data.geo_openstreetmap.planet_features`
    WHERE 'building' IN (SELECT key FROM UNNEST(all_tags)) AND geometry IS NOT NULL
  )''',
  '`your-project.your-dataset.osm_buildings_14_7`',
  R'''
    {
      "zoom_min": 0,
      "zoom_max": 14,
      "aggregation_resolution": 7,
      "aggregation_placement": "cell-centroid",
      "properties": {
        "aggregated_total": {
          "formula": "COUNT(*)",
          "type": "Number"
        }
      }
    }
  ''');

Here is an example of valid properties for a Point Aggregation Tileset:

R'''
{
    "properties": {
        "new_column_name": {
            "formula": "COUNT(*)",
            "type": "Number"
        },
        "most_common_ethnicity": {
            "formula": "APPROX_TOP_COUNT(ethnicity, 1)[OFFSET(0)].value",
            "type": "String"
        },
        "has_other_ethnicities": {
            "formula": "COUNTIF(ethnicity = 'other_race') > 0",
            "type": "Boolean"
        },
        "name": {
            "formula": "IF(COUNT(*) <= 1, ANY_VALUE(name), NULL)",
            "type": "String"
        },
        "address": {
            "formula": "IF(COUNT(*) <= 1, ANY_VALUE(address), NULL)",
            "type": "String"
        }
    }
}
'''

In the example above, for all features we would get a property "new_column_name" with the number of points that fall in it, the "most_common_ethnicity" of those rows and whether there are points whose ethnicity value matches one specific value ("has_other_ethnicities"). In addition to this, when there is only one point that belongs to this property (and only in that case) we will also get the column values from the source data: "name" and "address".

CREATE_SPATIAL_INDEX_TILESET

CREATE_SPATIAL_INDEX_TILESET(input, output_table, options)

Description

Creates a tileset that uses a spatial index (H3 and QUADBIN are currently supported), aggregating data from an input table that uses that same spatial index.

Aggregated data is computed for all levels between resolution_min and resolution_max. For each resolution level, all tiles for the area covered by the source table are added, with data aggregated at level resolution + aggregation resolution.

  • input: STRING that can either be a quoted qualified table name (e.g. `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`) or a full query contained by parentheses (e.g.(SELECT * FROM `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`)).

  • output_table: Where the resulting table will be stored. It must be a STRING of the form `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`. The project-id can be omitted (in which case the default one will be used). The dataset must exist and the caller needs to have permissions to create a new table on it. The process will fail if the target table already exists.

  • options: STRING containing a valid JSON with the different options. Valid options are described the table below.

warning

If a query is passed in input, it might be evaluated multiple times to generate the tileset. Thus, non-deterministic functions, such as ROW_NUMBER should be avoided. If such a function is needed, the query should be saved into a table first and then passed as input, to avoid inconsistent results.

OptionDescription

resolution_min

Default: 0. A NUMBER that defines the minimum resolution level for tiles. Any resolution level under this level won't be generated.

resolution_max

Default: 12 for QUADBIN tilesets, 6 for H3 tilesets. A NUMBER that defines the maximum resolution level for tiles. Any resolution level over this level won't be generated.

spatial_index_column

A STRING in the format spatial_index_type:column_name, with spatial_index_type being the type of spatial index used in the input table (can be quadbin or h3), and column_name being the name of the column in that input table that contains the tile ids. Notice that the spatial index name is case-sensitive. The type of spatial index also defines the type used in the output table, which will be QUADBIN (for spatial index type quadbin) or H3 (for spatial index type h3).

resolution

A NUMBER defining the resolution of the tiles in the input table.

aggregation_resolution

Defaults: 6 for QUADBIN tilesets, 4 for H3 tilesets. A NUMBER defining the resolution to use when aggregating data at each resolution level. For a given resolution, data is aggregated at resolution_level + aggregation resolution.

properties

A JSON object containing the aggregated properties to add to each tile in the output table. It cannot be empty, since at least one property is needed for aggregating the original values

metadata

Default: {}. A JSON object to specify the associated metadata of the tileset. Use this to set the name, description and legend to be included in the TileJSON. Other fields will be included in the object extra_metadata.

tip

Any option left as NULL will take its default value if available.

warning

There are some cases where capacity pricing is the only option to create a tileset. Some tables containing huge geographies might trigger a Query exceeded resource limits error because of the high CPU usage.

In case of input being set as a query, it should be taken into account that CTEs are not allowed. Also, the query should be as simple as possible in order to avoid BigQuery limitations about the complexity of the final query.

CREATE_SIMPLE_TILESET

CREATE_SIMPLE_TILESET(input, output_table, options)

warning

CREATE_TILESET is capable of finding the right configuration for your input data, whereas this procedure requires you to set them yourself. Please use this procedure only if you need a really specific configuration for your tileset or need to tweak a particular option that it's not available in CREATE_TILESET.

Description

Generates a simple tileset.

  • input: STRING that can either be a quoted qualified table name (e.g. `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`) or a full query contained by parentheses (e.g.(SELECT * FROM `project-id.dataset-id.table-name`)).

  • output_table: Where the resulting table will be stored. It must be a STRING of the form `projectI-id.dataset-id.table-name`. The project-id can be omitted (in which case the default one will be used). The dataset must exist and the caller needs to have permissions to create a new table on it. The process will fail if the target table already exists.

  • options: STRING containing a valid JSON with the different options. Valid options are described the table below.

tip

To avoid issues in the process when building the queries that will be executed internally against BigQuery, it is highly recommended to use raw strings when passing long queries in the input that might contain special characters.

warning

If a query is passed in input, it might be evaluated multiple times to generate the tileset. Thus, non-deterministic functions, such as ROW_NUMBER should be avoided. If such a function is needed, the query should be saved into a table first and then passed as input, to avoid inconsistent results.

OptionDescription

geom_column

Default: "geom". A STRING that marks the name of the geography column that will be used. It must be of type GEOGRAPHY.

Default: NULL. It is the column that each row could have to modify its starting zoom. It can be NULL (then zoom_min will be used). When provided, if its value is greater than zoom_min, it will take precedence and be used as the actual minimum.

zoom_max_column

Default: NULL. It is the column that each row could have to modify its end zoom level. It can be NULL (then zoom_max will be used). When provided, if its value is lower than zoom_max, it will be taken as the real maximum zoom level.

target_partitions

Default: 3999. Max: 3999. A NUMBER that defines the maximum amount of partitions to be used in the target table. The partition system, which uses a column named carto_partition, divides the available partitions first by zoom level and spatial locality to minimize the cost of tile read requests in web maps. Beware that this does not necessarily mean that all the partitions will be used, as a sparse dataset will leave some of these partitions unused.

tile_extent

Default: 4096. A NUMBER defining the extent of the tile in integer coordinates as defined by the MVT specification.

tile_buffer

Default: 16. A NUMBER defining the additional buffer added around the tiles in extent units, which is useful to facilitate geometry stitching across tiles in the renderers.

max_tile_size_kb

Default: 1024. Maximum allowed: 6144. A NUMBER specifying the approximate maximum size for a tile in kilobytes.

max_tile_size_strategy

Default: "throw_error". A STRING that determines what to do when the maximum size of a tile is reached while it is still processing data. There are three options available:

  • "throw_error": The process will throw an error cancelling the aggregation, so no tiles or table will be generated.

  • "drop_fraction_as_needed": For every zoom level, this process will drop a consistent fraction of features in every tile to make sure all generated tiles are below the maximum size set in max_tile_size_kb.

Note that in aggregation tilesets you can only use columns defined as properties, but in simple feature tilesets you can use any source column no matter if it's included in the tile as property or not. This is an expensive operation, so it's recommended to only use it when necessary.

drop_duplicates

Default: false. A BOOLEAN to drop duplicate features in a tile. This will drop only exact matches (both the geometry and the properties are exactly equal). As this requires sorting the properties, which is expensive, it should only be used when necessary.

generate_feature_id

Default: false. A BOOLEAN used to add a unique numeric id in the MVT tile.

metadata

Default: {}. A JSON object to specify the associated metadata of the tileset. Use this to set the name, description and legend to be included in the TileJSON. Other fields will be included in the object extra_metadata.

properties

Default: {}. A JSON object that defines the extra properties that will be included associated to each cell feature. Each property is defined by its name and type (Number, Boolean or String). Check out the examples included below.

calculate_geoids

Default: false. Generates an additional geoids column that contains the geoid value from each row in the input data that intersects with the tile. This option is required to use the resulting tileset as a boundary.

tip

If drop_fraction_as_needed is used, a fraction_dropped_per_zoom property will be included in the TileJSON, containing an estimate of the percentage of the features that have been dropped per zoom level. Please bear in mind that the exact percentages can be up to 5% higher.

warning

There are some cases where capacity pricing is the only option to create a tileset. Some tables containing huge geographies might trigger a Query exceeded resource limits error because of the high CPU usage.
