geohash算法原理及实现方式
3、geohash的php 、python、java、C#实现代码
4、观点讨论
首先，geohash用一个字符串表示经度和纬度两个坐标。某些情况下无法在两列上同时应用索引 （例如MySQL 4之前的版本，Google App Engine的数据层等），利用geohash，只需在一列上应用索引即可。
其次，geohash表示的并不是一个点，而是一个矩形区域。比如编码wx4g0ec19，它表示的是一个矩形区域。 使用者可以发布地址编码，既能表明自己位于北海公园附近，又不至于暴露自己的精确坐标，有助于隐私保护。
第三，编码的前缀可以表示更大的区域。例如wx4g0ec1，它的前缀wx4g0e表示包含编码wx4g0ec1在内的更大范围。 这个特性可以用于附近地点搜索。首先根据用户当前坐标计算geohash（例如wx4g0ec1）然后取其前缀进行查询 （SELECT * FROM place WHERE geohash LIKE 'wx4g0e%'），即可查询附近的所有地点。
Geohash比直接用经纬度的高效很多。
Geohash的最简单的解释就是：将一个经纬度信息，转换成一个可以排序，可以比较的字符串编码
首先将纬度范围(-90, 90)平分成两个区间(-90,0)、(0, 90)，如果目标纬度位于前一个区间，则编码为0，否则编码为1。
由于39.92324属于(0, 90)，所以取编码为1。
然后再将(0, 90)分成 (0, 45), (45, 90)两个区间，而39.92324位于(0, 45)，所以编码为0。
以此类推，直到精度符合要求为止，得到纬度编码为1011 1000 1100 0111 1001。
| 纬度范围 | 划分区间0 | 划分区间1 | 39.92324所属区间 |
| (-90, 90) | (-90, 0.0) | (0.0, 90) | 1 |
| (0.0, 90) | (0.0, 45.0) | (45.0, 90) | 0 |
| (0.0, 45.0) | (0.0, 22.5) | (22.5, 45.0) | 1 |
| (22.5, 45.0) | (22.5, 33.75) | (33.75, 45.0) | 1 |
| (33.75, 45.0) | (33.75, 39.375) | (39.375, 45.0) | 1 |
| (39.375, 45.0) | (39.375, 42.1875) | (42.1875, 45.0) | 0 |
| (39.375, 42.1875) | (39.375, 40.7812) | (40.7812, 42.1875) | 0 |
| (39.375, 40.7812) | (39.375, 40.0781) | (40.0781, 40.7812) | 0 |
| (39.375, 40.0781) | (39.375, 39.7265) | (39.7265, 40.0781) | 1 |
| (39.7265, 40.0781) | (39.7265, 39.9023) | (39.9023, 40.0781) | 1 |
| (39.9023, 40.0781) | (39.9023, 39.9902) | (39.9902, 40.0781) | 0 |
| (39.9023, 39.9902) | (39.9023, 39.9462) | (39.9462, 39.9902) | 0 |
| (39.9023, 39.9462) | (39.9023, 39.9243) | (39.9243, 39.9462) | 0 |
| (39.9023, 39.9243) | (39.9023, 39.9133) | (39.9133, 39.9243) | 1 |
| (39.9133, 39.9243) | (39.9133, 39.9188) | (39.9188, 39.9243) | 1 |
| (39.9188, 39.9243) | (39.9188, 39.9215) | (39.9215, 39.9243) | 1 |
经度也用同样的算法，对(-180, 180)依次细分，得到116.3906的编码为1101 0010 1100 0100 0100。
| 经度范围 | 划分区间0 | 划分区间1 | 116.3906所属区间 |
| (-180, 180) | (-180, 0.0) | (0.0, 180) | 1 |
| (0.0, 180) | (0.0, 90.0) | (90.0, 180) | 1 |
| (90.0, 180) | (90.0, 135.0) | (135.0, 180) | 0 |
| (90.0, 135.0) | (90.0, 112.5) | (112.5, 135.0) | 1 |
| (112.5, 135.0) | (112.5, 123.75) | (123.75, 135.0) | 0 |
| (112.5, 123.75) | (112.5, 118.125) | (118.125, 123.75) | 0 |
| (112.5, 118.125) | (112.5, 115.312) | (115.312, 118.125) | 1 |
| (115.312, 118.125) | (115.312, 116.718) | (116.718, 118.125) | 0 |
| (115.312, 116.718) | (115.312, 116.015) | (116.015, 116.718) | 1 |
| (116.015, 116.718) | (116.015, 116.367) | (116.367, 116.718) | 1 |
| (116.367, 116.718) | (116.367, 116.542) | (116.542, 116.718) | 0 |
| (116.367, 116.542) | (116.367, 116.455) | (116.455, 116.542) | 0 |
| (116.367, 116.455) | (116.367, 116.411) | (116.411, 116.455) | 0 |
| (116.367, 116.411) | (116.367, 116.389) | (116.389, 116.411) | 1 |
| (116.389, 116.411) | (116.389, 116.400) | (116.400, 116.411) | 0 |
| (116.389, 116.400) | (116.389, 116.394) | (116.394, 116.400) | 0 |
接下来将经度和纬度的编码合并，奇数位是纬度，偶数位是经度，得到编码 11100 11101 00100 01111 00000 01101 01011 00001。
最后，用0-9、b-z（去掉a, i, l, o）这32个字母进行base32编码，得到(39.92324, 116.3906)的编码为wx4g0ec1。
| 十进制 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
| base32 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | b | c | d | e | f | g |
| 十进制 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 |
| base32 | h | j | k | m | n | p | q | r | s | t | u | v | w | x | y | z |
解码算法与编码算法相反，先进行base32解码，然后分离出经纬度，最后根据二进制编码对经纬度范围进行细分即可，这里不再赘述。

引用阿里云以为技术专家的博客上的讨论：
这一点是有些用户对geohash的误解，虽然geo确实尽可能的将位置相近的点hash到了一起，可是这并不是严格意义上的(实际上也并不可能，因为毕竟多一维坐标)，
例如在方格4的左下部分的点和大方格1的右下部分的点离的很近，可是它们的geohash值一定是相差的相当远，因为头一次的分块就相差太大了，很多时候我们对geohash的值进行简单的排序比较，结果貌似真的能够找出相近的点，并且似乎还是按照距离的远近排列的，可是实际上会有一些点被漏掉了。
上述这个问题，可以通过搜索一个格子，周围八个格子的数据，统一获取后再进行过滤。这样就在编码层次解决了这个问题。
2.既然不能做到将相近的点hash值也相近，那么geohash的意义何在呢？
我觉得geohash还是相当有用的一个算法，毕竟这个算法通过无穷的细分，能确保将每一个小块的geohash值确保在一定的范围之内，这样就为灵活的周边查找和范围查找提供了可能。
常见的一些应用场景
A、如果想查询附近的点？如何操作
查出改点的gehash值，然后到数据库里面进行前缀匹配就可以了。
B、如果想查询附近点，特定范围内，例如一个点周围500米的点，如何搞？
可以查询结果，在结果中进行赛选，将geohash进行解码为经纬度，然后进行比较
*在纬度相等的情况下：
*经度每隔0.00001度，距离相差约1米；
*每隔0.0001度，距离相差约10米；
*每隔0.001度，距离相差约100米；
*每隔0.01度，距离相差约1000米；
*每隔0.1度，距离相差约10000米。
*在经度相等的情况下：
*纬度每隔0.00001度，距离相差约1.1米；
*每隔0.0001度，距离相差约11米；
*每隔0.001度，距离相差约111米；
*每隔0.01度，距离相差约1113米；
*每隔0.1度，距离相差约11132米。
