[SEDONA-XXX] my subject
.What changes were proposed in this PR?
Spark SQL primarily uses
org.apache.spark.sql.parquet.row.metadata
to infer the schema of parquet files. It will fall back to using the native parquet schema only whenorg.apache.spark.sql.parquet.row.metadata
is absent. Writing the schema of dataframes with GeometryUDT columns intoorg.apache.spark.sql.parquet.row.metadata
may cause compatibility problems. Please refer to the JIRA ticket for more details.This patch replaces the GeometryUDT written into the metadata with binary type, since this is the physical data type for representing geometry values.
How was this patch tested?
Add assertions to verify that the metadata written by Spark SQL does not contain GeometryUDT.
