Marker clustering

[peterqliu]

A GL equivalent of https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/leaflet-markercluster/

How this works in my mind: symbols get a cluster-distance property (default 0px). All symbols that fall under this distance from one another will automatically get lumped into one symbol. In order to get lumped, every symbol must be within this distance to every other member.

The lumping result might differ, depending on what order the renderer iterates through the symbols.

Writing a spec for how to style this lumped symbol is a whole nother ball of wax, but this is a start.

I've checked out the other issues but they seem to deviate from actual marker clustering (but rather point clustering). Is this feature still in development? Or is it possible with other aspects of the API?

Currently I'd like to cluster these markers, or as a compromise only show the avatars at a particular zoom level.

Thanks for any help!

@liampmccabe clustering is supported for geojson sources https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/cluster/
the ticket tracking clustering HTML Markers, which I believe is what you're looking for, is here #4491

For ReactJS lover, here is a solution for clustering in mapbox-gl:
