Managing and querying spatial point data in column stores

摘要

A query of spatial data is received by a database comprising a columnar data store storing data in a column-oriented structure. Thereafter, a spatial data set is mapped to physical storage in the database using a space-filling curve. The spatial data set is then compacted and such compacted data can be used to retrieve data from the database that is responsive to the query. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
