The emergence of geospatial big data has opened up new avenues for identifying urban environments. Although both geographic information systems (GIS) and expert systems (ES) have been useful in resolving geographical decision issues, they are not without their own shortcomings. The combination of GIS and ES has gained popularity due to the necessity of boosting the effectiveness of these tools in resolving very difficult spatial decision-making problems. The clustering method generates the functional effects necessary to apply spatial analysis techniques. In a symmetric clustering system, two or more nodes run applications and monitor each other simultaneously. This system is more efficient than an asymmetric system since it utilizes all available hardware and does not maintain a node in a hot standby state. However, it is still a major issue to figure out how to expand and speed up clustering algorithms without sacrificing efficiency. The work presented in this paper introduces an optimized hierarchical distributed k-medoid symmetric clustering algorithm for big data spatial query processing. To increase the k-medoid method’s efficiency and create more precise clusters, a hybrid approach combining the k-medoid and Chemical Reaction Optimization (CRO) techniques is presented. CRO is used in this approach to broaden the scope of the optimal medoid and improve clustering by obtaining more accurate data. The suggested paradigm solves the current technique’s issue of predicting the accurate clusters’ number. The suggested approach includes two phases: in the first phase, the local clusters are built using Apache Spark’s parallelism paradigm based on their portion of the whole dataset. In the second phase, the local clusters are merged to create condensed and reliable final clusters. The suggested approach condenses the data provided during aggregation and creates the ideal clusters’ number automatically based on the dataset’s structures. The suggested approach is robust and delivers high-quality results for spatial query analysis, as shown by experimental results. The proposed model reduces average query latency by 23%.
