I saw Chris who does Cascading tweet about someone building RTree
indexes recently in hadoop and wanted to follow up with him about who
was doing that.

For my part I very hastily wrote a blog
(http://biodivertido.blogspot.com/2008/11/reproducing-spatial-joins-using-hadoop.html)
but really I did not get far.  I could imagine running some initial MR
job on each side of a huge join before actually doing the join, to
determine the best join order, and potentially a (spatial)
partitioning strategy (e.g. build some RTrees, or perhaps subset the
data for different areas of the world and do the join in multiple
jobs).  Then using the output of this analysis stage to actually run
the process / implement the join.  There are some nice species
observation and specimen data (100s millions of point based data) that
we are often looking to join with polygon datasets (e.g. protected
areas of the world etc) - if you wanted a real world dataset and
fancied doing something worthwhile (helping protect and understand
species) it could be arranged.

Cheers,
Tim
