URL: https://github.com/apache/streampipes/issues/283

   At the moment the Distance Calculation and Static Distance Calulation are 
using the using the ‘haversine’ formula [1].
   
   But the result can be improved:
   
   Issue:
   
   Calc distance between Karlsruhe and New York:
   StreamPipes: 6230.166 km
   reference PostGIS: 6246.970 km
   \--\> Difference of ~17 km or 0,26 % error
   
   Calc distance between Karlsruhe and Rastatt:
   StreamPipes: 21.87866 km
   reference PostGIS: 21.908 km
   \--\> Difference of ~0,029 km or 0,13 % error
   
   Solution:
   Using GeographicLib as Library under MIT Licende [3][4]
   
   Using Geodesy Algorithm resolving different problems mentions in this paper
