Hi,

Does this Library work on distributed processing engine like Spark.

Thanks!

It may work when you are finding nearest neighbor from the index. But I haven't try it before.
Please refer to spotify/annoy for more details:

Why is this useful? If you want to find nearest neighbors and you have many CPU's, you only need the RAM to fit the index once. You can also pass around and distribute static files to use in production environment, in Hadoop jobs, etc.

You can also check Ann4s, which claims that it can work with Spark.
