Simba: Efficient In-Memory Spatial Analytics
Summary: Simba delivers in-memory spatial analytics on Spark, bypassing disk IO for low-latency large-scale data. It adds RDD-based spatial indexes, a spatial-aware optimizer, and Spark SQL/DataFrame API support for scalable, high-throughput queries on commodity clusters.
