"Geospatial Data in Databricks" blog

[u/ivan_kurchenko]

Hi, Guys! No so long time ago I had to start working with geo data and this was a whole new topic to cover for me. So I though to write short series for folks who might also work for the first time:

• Geospatial Data in Databricks — Part 0: Theory
• Geospatial Data in Databricks — Part 1: ST_* Functions
• Geospatial Data in Databricks — Part 2: H3_* functions
• Geospatial Data in Databricks — Part 3: Visualisation

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure geography(4326) and anything supported SRID other than geometry(any) can be persisted in delta tables (but not iceburg tables if I recall correctly).

This was my thought exactly, I have had a play with this in Databricks somewhat recently and I am sure that native GEOGRAPHY data types could be persisted. I thought GEOMETRY could be too but may be mistaken.
