• Boundaries

Boundaries:
Simplified country boundaries are available in two slightly different formats:
shapes_simplified_low:
geonameId: 	The geonameId of the feature
geoJson:	The boundary in geoJson format

shapes_simplified_low.json:
similar to the abovementioned file, but fully in geojson format. 
The geonameId is a feature property in the geojson string.

Hello,

From the answer here - Maxmind returns geoname_id, which can be used to lookup the city in geonames.

Is this possible?

Right now those handlers return a simple string slice, so it's up on the user to figure out what he should delete or modify (I am talking about the object's type actually). Maybe the conversion through the number of the fields will do the trick.

• Deletions

Maybe I need to add some examples in case that tests are not enough.

allCountries.zip: all countries, for the UK only the outwards codes, 
the UK total codes are in GB_full.csv.zip 
GB_full.csv.zip the full codes for the UK, ca 1.7 mio rows
<iso countrycode>: country specific subset also included in allCountries.zip

Looks like there was a change, possibly by mistake, in the CountryInfo.txt file from Geonames. In cases where a country has a neighbor, the tab for the EquivalentFipsCode field is not included at the end of the line, resulting in len(raw) to be only 18, not 19. Should handle this case by possibly only verifying that raw has a length of at least 17 and only add the neighbors and/or EquivalentFipsCode if its the 18/19.

Currently most handlers are being processed in RAM, which is not suitable for AllCountries handler or for a system with the lack or ram (< 128 mb?). Due to this AllCountries is processing data using a temporary file, which is being deleted afterwards. Maybe this is a better way, so I'll check out if it will be better for all other handlers or not.

the new adm5 column is not yet exported in the other files (in order to not break import scripts).
Instead it is availabe as separate file.

Welp, the project definitely needs some more detailed readme file.

Currently go convey cannot test this handler because it's taking more than 10 min to run.

Travis CI cannot complete the build process due to tests taking too long time to process. Need to fix this somehow (is there some option for travis?).

Instead of writing the zip content onto the hard drive, decompress it on the fly.
