------------------------------------
Summary: Spatial Data Processing Library
Key: FLINK-1538
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1538
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Fabian Hueske
Priority: Minor
Processing of geo-spatial data is compute intensive. If done on a large scale
as for example when joining millions of GPS traces with huge spatial data sets
such as OpenStreetMap, spatial processing can benefit from massively parallel
processing platforms such as Apache Flink.
We propose a project to draft and bootstrap a geo-spatial processing library
for Apache Flink.
The focus of this project lies on the design of the library. Key features
should be a good integration with other Flink APIs, good extensibility, and
compatibility with existing data formats. The library could include a variety
of processing functionality such as:
* import of common data formats
* fuzzy spatial join for different applications
** containment in area
** minimum distance to object
** intersection of polygons
** ...
* spatial partitioning techniques
* ...
