I'm working on scalable map matching using spark now, can I know when this function can be released. online map matching based on spark streaming

Scalable map matching implementations are (as of now) not in the scope of this library. The scope is rather a map matching implementation that is ready-to-use in scalable systems. A simple example can be found here: https://github.com/bmwcarit/barefoot/wiki#scalable-map-matching

Note: What's marked with TBD is rather about the documentation of examples not about the implementation. Moreover, the scalable online map matching solution is something that is strongly dependent on the application specifics and therefore not that easy to provide as a "always use this pattern" solution. The difficulty is mostly about handling states in a system that distributes work-loads where the solution strongly depends on the application specific requirements for access to states as results, e.g., result stream, spatial analysis of results, geo-fencing, visualization/monitoring, etc. For that reason, this library provides the map matching building block to be integrated in such solutions.
