Hello,
1. I'd like to ask you about presenting weather data (for example) to end-users as a heatmap. I've noticed there is a class for it in Javascript (HeatMapRenderer) but Java lacks of it or anything remotely similar. What would you recommend to do/use to achieve nice and fast final product?
2. Storing frequently changing data - what is the best way? Updating features' attributes (and therefore the database) of thousands of points every second may be troublesome. Is there better solution?
3. What do you think about In-memory OLTP with SQL Server 2014? Would it help?
