Dear Sir or Madam,
         
        I have been tasked by my employer with
          investigating various spatial software solutions for the
          Hadoop platform. I have been evaluating the GeoMesa software
          and have come across a problem. I have followed your website’s
          instructions with regards to raster data, deploying the
          GeoMesa plugin to GeoServer with little success. 
         
        http://www.geomesa.org/geomesa-raster/
        http://www.geomesa.org/geomesa-deployment/
         
        After following the instructions as
          described in the above URLS, I logged into GeoServer’s UI and
          attempted to add a data store. Unfortunately, the “GeoMesa
          Coverage Format” selection did not appear anywhere under the
          Raster Data Sources section. Nor did the “Accumulo (GeoMesa)”
          selection appear under the Vector Data Sources section. I
          thought this might be due to my installing Accumulo 1.6.1 on
          our cluster. So I elected to use the jar files that came with
          my Accumulo install. For our Hadoop cluster, we used Ambari
          1.7 and installed HDP 2.2.
         
        The jar files copied to
          /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib are as
          follows:
         
        accumulo-core.jar
        accumulo-fate.jar
        accumulo-trace.jar
        hadoop-auth.jar
        hadoop-client.jar
        hadoop-common.jar
        hadoop-hdfs.jar
        hadoop-mapreduce-client-app.jar
        hadoop-mapreduce-client-common.jar
        hadoop-mapreduce-client-core.jar
        hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient.jar
        hadoop-mapreduce-client-shuffle.jar
        libthrift.jar
        commons-configuration-1.6.jar
        commons-lang-2.4.jar
        geomesa-plugin-1.1.0-rc.5-geoserver-plugin.jar
         
        I also installed the files associated with
          the  WPS plugin for Geoserver 2.5.2.
         
        The geoserver.log file did not reveal any
          issues, but I suspected there still were missing jar files. So
          I went into the geomesa lib directory and copied all the jar
          files into the /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib
          directory. I restarted Tomcat (version 7) and proceeded to the
          Add Data Store page in the GeoServer UI. To my delight, the
          “Accumulo (GeoMesa)” selection appeared under the Vector Data
          Sources section. Unfortunately, the “GeoMesa Coverage Format”
          selection still did not appear under Raster Data Sources. So I
          am still unable to register the raster pyramid that I ingested
          into GeoMesa/Accumulo.
