Kristin Cowalcijk commented on SEDONA-178:
------------------------------------------
Yes, distance join only gives correct result when the query RDD is made up of
points. We've been using {{ST_Within(a.geom, ST_Buffer(b.geom, distance))}} as
a workaround for query window with extents.
> Correctness issue in distance join queries

> Key: SEDONA-178
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SEDONA-178
> Project: Apache Sedona
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Martin Andersson
> Priority: Major

> Hi,
> We are seeing erroneous results for some distance join queries.
>
> Case 1:
> The following query gives no output even though the distance between the
> geometries is 1.
> {{select *}}
> {{from (select ST_LineFromText('Linestring(1 1, 1 4)') as geom) a}}
> {{join (select st_point(1.0,5.0) as geom) b}}
> {{on st_distance(a.geom, b.geom) < 1.4}}
> I think the issue boils down to a misuse of/error in Circle class.
> DistanceJoinExec.scala:60 will create a Circle from the linestring and a
> radius of 1.4.
> Circle will compute the center point (1 2.5) and radius (1.5) for the
> linestring. The actual radius used is max(radius(linestring), 1.4). See
> Circle.java:80
> For the query to work the Circle needs a radius 1.4 _larger_ than the
> linestring. Like this:
> circle = new Circle(geom, 0.0);
> circle.setRadius(circle.getRadius() + 1.4)
>
> Case 2:
> The following query matches the geometries even though the distance is not
> less than 0.1. Actual distance is 1.
> {{select *}}
> {{from (select ST_LineFromText('Linestring(1 1, 1 3, 3 3)') as geom) a}}
> {{join (select st_point(2.0,2.0) as geom) b}}
> {{on st_distance(a.geom, b.geom) < 0.1}}
> Pseudo code for the join condition:
> new Circle(a.geom, 0.1).covers(b.geom)
> The circle does cover the point but the linestring is further away from the
> point than 0.1
