  We present GeoRocket, a software for the management of very large geospatial
datasets in the cloud. GeoRocket employs a novel way to handle arbitrarily
large datasets by splitting them into chunks that are processed individually.
The software has a modern reactive architecture and makes use of existing
services including Elasticsearch and storage back ends such as MongoDB or
Amazon S3. GeoRocket is schema-agnostic and supports a wide range of
heterogeneous geospatial file formats. It is also format-preserving and does
not alter imported data in any way. The main benefits of GeoRocket are its
performance, scalability, and usability, which make it suitable for a number of
scientific and commercial use cases dealing with very high data volumes,
complex datasets, and high velocity (Big Data). GeoRocket also provides many
opportunities for further research in the area of geospatial data management.
