[geomesa-users] Geohashing vs R-tree

[Luca Morandini <luca.morandini1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I am drafting a presentation on Big Data spatial DBMSes, including GeoMesa. I read 
some material, including the "Spatio-temporal Indexing in Non-relational 
Distributed Databases" paper, but one question still lingers in my mind: isn't the 
main advantage of geohashing over R-tree the absence of index rebalancing?
