Hadoop-GIS: A High Performance Spatial Data Warehousing System over MapReduce

Summary: Hadoop-GIS brings scalable spatial warehousing to MapReduce/Hive via spatial partitioning and implicit parallel query execution. Global partition indexes, on-demand local indexes, RESQUE, and boundary-object handling deliver SDBMS-comparable or superior performance for compute-intensive queries.
