Hello. We are trying to use geometry data with Apache Spark Connect and Apache Sedona. We are able to convert binary geometry data to Sedona geometry types using `ST_GeomFromWKB` on a local Apache Sedona instance, but when attempting to do this via a remote Spark Connect server, the `ST_GeomFromWKB` function is unable to be found (see below error). Are Sedona operations compatible with a Spark Connect server? ``` pyspark.errors.exceptions.connect.AnalysisException: [UNRESOLVED_ROUTINE] Cannot resolve function `ST_GeomFromWKB` on search path [`system`.`builtin`, `system`.`session`, `spark_catalog`.`default`].; line 1 pos 0 ``` ## Actual behavior ```Python from pyspark.sql import SparkSession import pyspark.sql.functions as f from sedona.spark import * spark = SparkSession.builder.remote("sc://<spark_connect_address>:<port>").getOrCreate() url = "jdbc:postgresql://<database_address>" sedona = SedonaContext.create(spark) df = sedona.read.format("jdbc").option("url", url).option("dbtable", "nyc_neighborhoods").load().withColumn("geom", f.expr("ST_GeomFromWKB(geom)")) df.show() ``` Running this code produces the above error at `df.show()`. When we use Sedona Spark in conjunction with our Spark Connect server without geospatial data (i.e., we don't use `.withColumn("geom", f.expr("ST_GeomFromWKB(geom)"))`), there is no error; the data is loaded and made available with the `geom` column in the original binary form. Note: We are using the PostGIS demo database found [here](https://postgis.net/workshops/postgis-intro/). ## Steps to reproduce the problem 1. Start the Spark Connect server: ``` ./sbin/start-connect-server.sh --packages org.apache.spark:spark-connect_2.12:3.5.0,org.apache.sedona:sedona-spark-shaded-3.5_2.12:1.7.0,org.datasyslab:geotools-wrapper:1.7.0-28.5,org.postgresql:postgresql:42.7.4 --repositories https://artifacts.unidata.ucar.edu/repository/unidata-all --executor-memory 28G ``` <br> 2. Run the Python code above. ## Settings Sedona version = 1.7.0 Apache Spark version = 3.5.0 Scala version = 2.12 Python version = 3.8 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
