As I said, you can ingest such data, but if you have a 10Mb file with a single line of text, which would constitute a single event, you would have to make sure that the max line length limits are tweaked. Having said that, I am not sure how Splunk or the browser would handle a 10Mb single event. Still, the answer really is that you _can_ ingest the data, but whether it will ultimately be a good fit for your purpose cannot easily be known, for example, does geographic data mean descriptions of landscape features or geological attributes and you are looking to discover what type of rock may have gold in it, or are you looking to get topographical information from coordinates and elevation data? Really, Splunk's good at taking multiple pieces of data and performing aggregations and correlations with that data.
