Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/stratios-cassandra-lucene-index-geospatial-use-cases-andrs-de-la-pea-jonathan-nappee-nephila-c-summit-2016 | We will discuss the recently added geospatial search features in Stratio's Cassandra Lucene index using some applied use cases. These new features include indexing complex polygons, nearest neighbour search and the application of chained geometrical transformations such as bounding box, convex hull, centroid, union, intersection, exclusion and distance buffer. To discuss the new Stratio's Cassandra Lucene index features, we will use a Cassandra cluster that stores and indexes several millions of geographical shapes taken from the US census database. These use cases will include the search for census blocks inside a geographical area, how to build heat maps using distances to fire stations, and we will also search for properties that are in the trajectory of a hurricane.
