The table with house number interpolations in Nominatim has changed its style replacing the
interpolationtype
with a simplerstep
column and excluding duplicate house numbers with the placex tables. See osm-search/Nominatim#2597 for details.This PR adds support for the new style while keeping compatibility with the old style. Photon checks on startup which of the columns is available and uses the appropriate SQL for getting the data.
The change highlighted an issue we've been having for a while: the API endpoint to update Nominatim is always available, no matter if Nominatim is installed. Given that most users never want to run updates via Photon, this isn't an API that should be there unless explicitly requested. The PR adds a new command-line option
-enable-update-api
which needs to be added to set up the update endpoint. This is a change in behaviour for everybody who runs updates. You need to add the new option to continue to run updates.
