Previously, we would look at the metadata CSVs, load all the referenced GeoJSON files over HTTP, parse them and put them into PostgreSQL. The hosted
pgdump
version was just dumped from a manual import of this data.Because we're now doing global builds, this data has grown stale. This change adds a script to download and parse the WOF "bundles", which are
tar.gz
files containing the GeoJSON files - so we download 4 files instead of thousands. Instead of loading this into a database, we dump the data out as a SQL file, ready to be imported at database setup time.The SQL dump is put into the
shapefiles.tar.gz
versioned static data asset, similar to Natural Earth and the OSMData land/water polygons. This means it's stable across releases, but we can update it as part of a regular asset rebuild.Connects to #1808.
