Flink and spatial data

[Esa Heikkinen]

Hi

 

How Flink can deal with a spatial (position of coordinates) data ?

 

For example, I would want to check the coordinates of some moving object have crossed some boundary.

Is that possible ?

 

Best, Esa

Hi Esa,

there's no built-in support for handling spatial data in Flink.

However, you can use any JVM-based spatial library in your library to perform such computations.

One option is the ESRI library [1].

Also there is a JIRA issue [2] to add support for a few spatial functions (as provided by Calcite) to the SQL API.

But this has not started yet, AFAIK.

Best, Fabian
