Thank you very much for your greetings and suggestion, Stefan :D. Are you another contributor ? Nice to meet you.
As you recommended, I've started to familiarize myself with Flink using the stratophere.eu website as a reference, and I look forward to see the new docs. Until then, do you know any good book or document about spatial data processing I could consult? Especially about fuzzy special join, spatial partitioning and indexing, as the project states. It would be cool to learn more in the meantime. And so, I almost forgot to congratulate the team... Congratulations to Flink/Stratosphere for becoming an Apache Incubator project! 2014-06-18 13:17 GMT+02:00 Stephan Ewen <[email protected]>: > Hi Christine! > > Happy to hear that you are interested in contributing.
