Supported Apache Spark version: 2.0+(Master branch) 1.0+(1.X branch)

GeoSpark is listed as Infrastructure Project on Apache Spark Official Third Party Project Page

GeoSpark is a cluster computing system for processing large-scale spatial data. GeoSpark extends Apache Spark with a set of out-of-the-box Spatial Resilient Distributed Datasets (SRDDs) that efficiently load, process, and analyze large-scale spatial data across machines. GeoSpark provides APIs for Apache Spark programmer to easily develop their spatial analysis programs with Spatial Resilient Distributed Datasets (SRDDs) which have in house support for geometrical and Spatial Queries (Range, K Nearest Neighbors, Join).

GeoSpark artifacts are hosted in Maven Central: Maven Central Coordinates

News!

  • GeoSpark and Babylon (v0.1.X-0.2.X) Template Project is available here: Template Project

  • GeoSpark (0.8.0 and later) provides alternative Spatial RDD constructors to speed up RDD data loading and initlializing. See Advanced GeoSpark Tutorial.

  • GeoSpark (0.8.0 and later) provides a new Quad-Tree Spatial Partitioning Method to speed up Join Query. (Scala Example, Java Example)

Important features (more)

Spatial Resilient Distributed Datasets (SRDDs)

Supported Spatial RDDs: PointRDD, RectangleRDD, PolygonRDD, LineStringRDD

Supported input data format

Native input format support:

  • CSV
  • TSV
  • WKT
  • GeoJSON (single-line compact format)
  • NASA Earth Data NetCDF/HDF
  • ESRI ShapeFile(.shp, .shx, .dbf)

User-supplied input format mapper: Any single-line input formats

Spatial Partitioning

Supported Spatial Partitioning techniques: Quad-Tree, R-Tree, Voronoi diagram, Uniform grids (Experimental), Hilbert Curve (Experimental)

Spatial Index

Supported Spatial Indexes: Quad-Tree and R-Tree. R-Tree supports Spatial K Nearest Neighbors query.

Geometrical operation

DatasetBoundary, Minimum Bounding Rectangle, Polygon Union

Spatial Operation

Spatial Range Query, Distance Join Query, Spatial Join Query (Inside and Overlap), and Spatial K Nearest Neighbors Query.

Coordinate Reference System (CRS) Transformation (aka. Coordinate projection)

GeoSpark allows users to transform the original CRS (e.g., degree based coordinates such as EPSG:4326 and WGS84) to any other CRS (e.g., meter based coordinates such as EPSG:3857) so that it can accurately process both geographic data and geometrical data. Please specify your desired CRS in GeoSpark Spatial RDD constructor (Example).

Babylon Visualization System on GeoSpark

Babylon is a large-scale in-memory geospatial visualization system.

Babylon provides native support for general cartographic design by extending GeoSpark to process large-scale spatial data. It can visulize Spatial RDD and Spatial Queries and render super high resolution image in parallel.

More details are available here: Babylon GeoSpatial Visualization
