Supported Apache Spark version: 2.0+(Master branch) 1.0+(1.X branch)
GeoSpark is listed as Infrastructure Project on Apache Spark Official Third Party Project Page
GeoSpark is a cluster computing system for processing large-scale spatial data. GeoSpark extends Apache Spark with a set of out-of-the-box Spatial Resilient Distributed Datasets (SRDDs) that efficiently load, process, and analyze large-scale spatial data across machines. GeoSpark provides APIs for Apache Spark programmer to easily develop their spatial analysis programs with Spatial Resilient Distributed Datasets (SRDDs) which have in house support for geometrical and Spatial Queries (Range, K Nearest Neighbors, Join).
GeoSpark artifacts are hosted in Maven Central: Maven Central Coordinates

- In order to download GeoSpark 0.9.0-SNAPSHOT, read this: GeoSpark Maven Coordinate. GeoSpark 0.9.0 will bring you
- much less memory consumption powered by GeoSpark customized serializer
- much faster spatial/distance join speed
- SpatialRDD that supports heterogenous geometries
- range, join, knn queries on heterogenous geometries.
- Welcome GeoSpark new contributor, Masha Basmanova (@mbasmanova) from Facebook. Masha has contributed more than 10 PRs to GeoSpark on refactoring GeoSpark architecture and improving GeoSpark join performance!
- Welcome GeoSpark new contributor, Zongsi Zhang (@zongsizhang) from Arizona State University. Zongsi participated the design of GeoSpark Shapefile parser and he has done a great job!

GeoSpark allows users to transform the original CRS (e.g., degree based coordinates such as EPSG:4326 and WGS84) to any other CRS (e.g., meter based coordinates such as EPSG:3857) so that it can accurately process both geographic data and geometrical data. Please specify your desired CRS in GeoSpark Spatial RDD constructor (Example).

GeoSparkViz is a large-scale in-memory geospatial visualization system.
GeoSparkViz provides native support for general cartographic design by extending GeoSpark to process large-scale spatial data. It can visulize Spatial RDD and Spatial Queries and render super high resolution image in parallel.
