             Summary: Vincenty distance spark function
                 Key: SPARK-34410
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-34410
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.1.2
            Reporter: Darshan Jani


Add new spark function to compute the distance between two geo-points using 
vincenty distance formula
Vincenty uses the oblate spheroid whereas haversine uses unit sphere, this will 
give roughly
22m better accuracy (in worst case) than haversine
