---------------------------------------
Summary: Add Geography user-defined type
Key: SEDONA-711
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SEDONA-711
Project: Apache Sedona
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Dewey Dunnington
With the addition of GEOGRAPHY as a first-class type in the Parquet and Iceberg
specs, we'll need a UDT into which it should be read when interacting with it
in a Spark context.
I'll leave the discussion of the details to an initial PR, but briefly, I would
propose initially implementing it as a thin wrapper around a JTS Geometry (so
that we can reuse things like serializers and WKB/WKT IO for the initial
integration).
