A loader for our custom shapefiles used in reverse geocoding
The shapefiles are expected to have three attributes:
A geometry attribute (describes the feature's shape)
A key attribute (e.g. timezone, country code, etc)
An index attribute generated by our batch simplification process
Which describes an shape's path in the Quadtree.
The name of the index attribute explains the layout and levels of the quadtree
for example, GI40_2_2_2 divides the world up into (40 x 40)
At the top level, then (2 x 2), then (2 x 2), then (2 x 2).
At the last level, the actual shapes are preserved.
