Mosaic is an extension to the Apache Spark framework that allows easy and fast processing of very large geospatial datasets.

Mosaic provides:

• easy conversion between common spatial data encodings (WKT, WKB and GeoJSON);

• constructors to easily generate new geometries from Spark native data types;

• many of the OGC SQL standard ST_ functions implemented as Spark Expressions for transforming, aggregating and joining spatial datasets;

• high performance through implementation of Spark code generation within the core Mosaic functions;

• optimisations for performing point-in-polygon joins using an approach we co-developed with Ordnance Survey (blog post); and

• the choice of a Scala, SQL and Python API.
