Discover and explore the tools and workflows available for analyzing and visualizing big data using Feature GeoAnalytics and GIS Tools for Hadoop. Talk with Esri experts about the upcoming release of Feature GeoAnalytics, distributed analysis for your web GIS. Feature GeoAnalytics applies spatiotemporal analysis with a focus on aggregating and summarizing large datasets through ArcGIS Pro, Portal for ArcGIS, and the REST API. Developers will also present and explain how to use the Esri authored open-source GIS Tools for Hadoop to transfer data between Hadoop and a geodatabase so that you can perform spatial analysis natively on a Hadoop cluster for later visualization in ArcMap.

Domestic and international customer service representatives will be available to answer questions regarding order status, general licensing, and maintenance status.
