Hello, I'm a developer on the GeoTrellis project (http://geotrellis.github.io). We do fast raster processing over large data sets, from web-time (sub-100ms) processing for live endpoints to distributed raster analysis over clusters using Akka clustering.
There's currently discussion underway about moving to support a Spark backend for doing large scale distributed raster analysis. You can see the discussion here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/geotrellis-user/wkUOhFwYAvc. Any contributions to the discussion would be welcome. My question to the list is, is there currently any development towards a geospatial data story for Spark, that is, using Spark for large scale raster\vector spatial data analysis? Is there anyone using Spark currently for this sort of work? Thanks, Rob Emanuele
