Re: Joining data using Latitude, Longitude

[Akhil Das]

Are you using SparkSQL for the join? In that case I'm not quiet sure you
have a lot of options to join on the nearest co-ordinate. If you are using
the normal Spark code (by creating key-pair on lat,lon) you can apply
certain logic like trimming the lat,lon etc. If you want more specific
computing then you are better off using haversine formula.
