I’m working on a project where I’m going to have to do some basic geospatial processing, like determining if a location falls within one of N possible regions, or whether a region overlaps one or more of those N regions. I’ll be given a file with various “shapes” along with characteristics of those shapes, and then I’ll need to be able to make the aforementioned queries from within my Spark application.

Looks like there already are a few libraries I could use:

• GeoSpark
• Magellan
• SparkGIS

Since this stuff is pretty new to me, I’m not sure how to even compare the relative pros and cons of these libraries, so I was looking for some online comparison that goes more into those details. I wasn’t able to find one, and I’m wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
