Introducing kNN Join for Wherobots and Apache Sedona

We are excited to introduce the k-Nearest Neighbors Join (kNN Join) for WherobotsDB and Apache Sedona 1.7.0. With the kNN Join, you can efficiently find the closest entities to your points of interest from datasets at scale. We’ve released two types of kNN Joins: the Exact kNN Join and the Approximate kNN Join. With these two kNN Join options, you can efficiently find the closest entities to your points of interest from datasets at scale, and trade off performance versus accuracy needs.

Introducing GeoStats for WherobotsAI and Apache Sedona

We are excited to introduce GeoStats, a machine learning (ML) and statistical toolbox for WherobotsAI and Apache Sedona users. With GeoStats, you can easily identify critical patterns in geospatial datasets such as hotspots and anomalies, and quickly get critical insights from large scale data. While these algorithms are supported in other packages, we’ve optimized each algorithm to be highly performant for small to planetary scale geospatial workloads. That means, you can get results from these algorithms significantly faster, at a lower cost, and do it all more productively, through a unified development experience purpose-built for geospatial data science and ETL.
