Hey Chris,

This sounds amazing!
You might have to check also with the Geotrellis
<https://github.com/geotrellis/geotrellis> team (Rob and Eugene for
instance) who have already covered quite interesting ground dealing with
tiles as RDD element.
Some algebra operations are there, but also thingies like Shortest Path
(within rasters).

A small, I've a student who is working on a implementation of LU/LC using
Spark (first using CA, then I hope extension using stochastic methods like
local random forest).

If you consider implementing a R-Tree (or perhaps the SD version) for OGIs
operation, I thought that IndexedRDD
<https://github.com/amplab/spark-indexedrdd> could be interesting to
consider (I've been asked to look at options to implement this kind of
distributed and resilient R-Tree, so I'll be happy to see how it'd perform
^^).

cheers and have fun!
andy
