Huge thanks to Snowplow community member Tiago Macedo for providing a PR in support of this work: github. We are working on a new version of this library, with support for the new database file format. Release a new version of scala-maxmind-iplookups We will start providing this new database file in Amazon S3, as we do the legacy database. Start providing hosting for the GeoLite2 databases We have a multiple step plan to do this: Step 1. Ill describe the changes below, but first let me get your attention with the fabulous benchmarks ).
