Perform a spatial join operation on two Sedona spatial RDDs.

Given spatial_rdd and query_window_rdd, return a pair RDD containing all pairs of geometrical elements (p, q) such that p is an element of spatial_rdd, q is an element of query_window_rdd, and (p, q) satisfies the spatial relation specified by join_type.

Usage

sedona_spatial_join(
  spatial_rdd,
  query_window_rdd,
  join_type = c("contain", "intersect"),
  partitioner = c("quadtree", "kdbtree"),
  index_type = c("quadtree", "rtree")
)

Arguments

spatial_rdd

Spatial RDD containing geometries to be queried.

query_window_rdd

Spatial RDD containing the query window(s).

join_type

Type of the join query (must be either "contain" or "intersect"). If join_type is "contain", then a geometry from spatial_rdd will match a geometry from the query_window_rdd if and only if the former is fully contained in the latter. If join_type is "intersect", then a geometry from spatial_rdd will match a geometry from the query_window_rdd if and only if the former intersects the latter.

partitioner

Spatial partitioning to apply to both spatial_rdd and query_window_rdd to facilitate the join query. Can be either a grid type (currently "quadtree" and "kdbtree" are supported) or a custom spatial partitioner object. If partitioner is NULL, then assume the same spatial partitioner has been applied to both spatial_rdd and query_window_rdd already and skip the partitioning step.

index_type

Controls how spatial_rdd and query_window_rdd will be indexed (unless they are indexed already). If "NONE", then no index will be constructed and matching geometries will be identified in a doubly nested- loop iterating through all possible pairs of elements from spatial_rdd and query_window_rdd, which will be inefficient for large data sets.

Value

A spatial RDD containing the join result.
