Hadoop Connection via gis-tools-for-hadoop only via HDFS?

[StefanJaquemar]

Hi.

A possible customer asks how he can connect to his Hadoop - Data with the gis-tools-for-hadoop?

Is it only possible to use preanalyzed data on a WebHDFS or HDFS?

Or can the user set a query directly via Hive or Accumulo on the hadoop database?

The new Big Data Analytics server is no alternativ for the customer at the moment.

The GIS Tools for Hadoop were written mainly to support Hive queries. Please see the wiki  (Hive Spatial · Esri/spatial-framework-for-hadoop Wiki · GitHub) for more information including the list of supported ST_Geometry operators.

Thanks for the answer but I think the customer is more interested in the geoprocessing-tools-for-hadoop which can be added as toolbox.

So what are the possibilities there?

[MichaelPark]

I see. There is currently not a way to directly run the Hive queries and return the results to Desktop using those GP tools.

OK, thanks.
