Hi Riyafa, I think it's a very good idea. I did a similar project before with SpatialHadoop [http://spatialhadoop.cs.umn.edu/] and Pigeon [ https://github.com/aseldawy/pigeon]. I will be happy to mentor your this summer. @Everyone: I haven't been a mentor in GSoC before so I'll appreciate if someone can be there to help with the logistics and process.
