1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a request from a requester to detect hotspots in a dataset;
performing hotspot detection on the dataset by:
finding two or more regions having multiple data points to evaluate for high-density in the dataset, a high-density region indicating a potential hotspot;
manipulating the found two or more regions to lessen a number of regions to be considered as hotspots;
extending a size of the manipulated found two or more regions to determine borders for these regions;
post-processing of the extended regions to determine which of the extended regions are detected hotspots; and
providing an output indicating any detected hotspot to the requester and information about points in any detected hotspot.
