The record

Purpose: GeoMesa is an open-source suite for large-scale geospatial analytics on distributed computing systems.
Spatial data: It stores point, line, and polygon data and supports queries using geographic properties such as distance and area.
Streaming: GeoMesa supports near real-time spatio-temporal stream processing using Apache Kafka.
Databases: The project site lists Accumulo, HBase, Redis, and Cassandra among the databases GeoMesa works with.
Mapping APIs: Through GeoServer, GeoMesa connects mapping clients using OGC APIs and protocols including WFS and WMS.
Analytics: GeoMesa supports Apache Spark for distributed geospatial analytics.
Scale: The manual says GeoMesa can store gigabytes to petabytes of spatial data and scale horizontally by adding servers.
Use cases: The manual describes GeoMesa as suited to large or high-velocity spatial datasets, including IoT, tracking, social media, and mobile-phone data.
Security: GeoMesa supports visibility labels to govern which users can see records, with attribute-level visibility currently implemented only for its Accumulo data store.
Security configuration: The manual says there is no default authorization-provider implementation for different security architectures, so users must provide their own service provider for that setup.
Release and runtime: The recommended version shown is 5.4.0, and GeoMesa requires Java 11 or 17 to run.
Distribution: Release distributions with binary artifacts are available from GitHub, and GeoMesa artifacts are hosted on Maven Central.
Support: The project directs users to its mailing list for bug reports and additional support, and says professional support is offered by GA Intelligence.
Community module limit: The manual says community modules are outside the GeoMesa project and are not supported by the GeoMesa team.
