We have implemented an updated Hierarchical Triangular Mesh (HTM) as the basis for a unified data model and an indexing scheme for geoscience data to address the variety challenge of Big Earth Data. In the absence of variety, the volume challenge of Big Data is relatively easily addressable with parallel processing. The more important challenge in achieving optimal value with a Big Data solution for...
We have implemented a flexible User Defined Operator (UDO) for labeling connected components of a binary mask expressed as an array in SciDB, a parallel distributed database management system based on the array data model. This UDO is able to process very large multidimensional arrays by exploiting SciDB's memory management mechanism that efficiently manipulates arrays whose memory requirements far...
It is found that data placement on the networked nodes of a cluster based on the shared-nothing architecture (SNA) should align in the physical (i.e. spatiotemporal) space for most geoscience Big Data analysis systems in order to minimize data movements and thus achieve optimal performance and efficiency. This is due to the fact that data analysis in geosciences predominantly requires spatiotemporal...
