alamb opened a new issue, #148: URL: https://github.com/apache/parquet-site/issues/148
- Part of https://github.com/apache/parquet-site/issues/146 We recently added Geospatial (Geometry/Geography) types to parquet format -- see https://parquet.apache.org/docs/file-format/types/geospatial/ However, the only documentation that currently exists is the low level technical spec. This is somewhat awkward when trying to explain to others what these types are and why they should consider adding Variant support to their systems: there is no high level overview / link to point people at. I suggest a blog post with a a high level 1. Explains the usecase of Geospatial types (probably obvious, but highlighting why native parquet support is important, like bounding boxes) 2. Gives a technical overview of the types (e.g. how they are stored) I would love a story arc that also highlights the fact that this is a major new addition to the Parquet spec and that it has already seen wide adoption https://parquet.apache.org/docs/file-format/implementationstatus/ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
