Just got back from the fantastic Strata + Hadoop 2017 conference where the topics ranged from BigData, Spark to lots of AI/ML and not so much on Hadoop explicitly, at least not in the sessions that I attended. I think that is why the conference is renamed Strata + Data from now on as there is more to Hadoop in BigData.
While strolling the exhibition hall, I walked into the booth of our friends at MemSQL and got a BIG hug from Gary. We reminisced about our co-presentations at various conferences regarding the integration of ArcGIS and MemSQL as they natively support geospatial types.
This post is a refresher on the integration with a "modern" twist, where we are using the Spark Connector to ETL geo spatial data into MemSQL in a Docker container. To view the bulk loaded data, ArcGIS Pro is extended with an ArcPy toolbox to query MemSQL, aggregate and view the result set of features on a map.
Like usual, all the source code can be found here
