Hi,

>From what I see on the PR you mentioned, is that this would mean (in Avro
terms) logical types for geometry & geography (both coordinates)? Do I
understand this correctly?

Additional things, such as lines, polygons and expressions, fall outside
our scope of data representation.

Both the geometry and geography types are be possible using a logical type
on a record with 4 double fields (x, y, z & m), where the first two should
not have a NaN value.

Kind regards,
Oscar
