-----------------------------
Summary: Support geodesic / geography functions
Key: SEDONA-281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SEDONA-281
Project: Apache Sedona
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jia Yu
Currently, to work with geography, Sedona users have to use ST_Transform to
project CRS to a planar meter-based CRS. This works great for local datasets
but shows bad accuracy for global datasets. For example, calculate the distance
from Beijing to Seattle.
We will add at least 4 Sphere/Spheroid functions to support such calculation
and basically achieve the similar effect of having a geography type.
ST_AreaSpheroid
ST_LengthSpheroid
ST_DistanceSphere
