Abstract

Spatial keyword queries, finding objects closest to a specified location that contains a set of keywords, are a kind of pervasive operations in spatial databases. In reality, there is some spatial data that is not stored in databases, instead in files. And generally this kind of spatial data is textual, noisy, large-scale and used now and then, which makes it be quite costly to conduct spatial keyword querying on such spatial data. To solve this problem, in this paper we propose an efficient method by using a distributed system based on MapReduce. The algorithm for spatial keyword query evaluation under the MapReduce model is developed and implemented. Experimental results demonstrate that this method can process spatial keyword queries effectively and efficiently.
