Cone Searching & HTM

Many of the queries we want to do are related to the position of objects in the sky. We use HTM - Hierarchical Triangular Mesh - to index the sky and utilise the API to augment our SQL queries. In this document I will attempt to use HTM with Cassandra. This may of course be a bad match of technologies (see issues below), and there may be other spatial indexing technologies that tie in better with Cassandra.
