Dear Spark community, I would like to propose the addition of new geospatial data types (GEOMETRY and GEOGRAPHY) which represent geospatial values as recently added as new logical types in the Parquet specification.
The new types should improve Spark’s ability to read the new Parquet logical types and perform some minimal meaningful operations on them. SPIP: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-51658 Looking forward to your comments and feedback. Best regards, Menelaos Karavelas
