Processing spatial joins using a mapreduce framework

摘要

Techniques, systems, and articles of manufacture for processing spatial joins using a MapReduce framework. A method includes partitioning a spatial data domain based on a distribution of spatial data objects across multiple nodes of a cluster of machines, defining at least one operation to be performed on the partitioned spatial data domain based on one or more predicates of a query, and executing the at least one defined operation on the partitioned spatial data domain to determine a response to the query.
