Geospatial Data Just Got a Major Upgrade: Iceberg and Parquet Add Native GEO Support
2025-02-15
The Apache Iceberg and Parquet communities have announced native support for geometry and geography data types, bridging the gap between geospatial data and the modern data ecosystem. This breakthrough addresses past challenges like fragmented formats and proprietary systems, enabling faster queries, lower storage costs, and increased interoperability. Organizations can now build more cost-effective and innovative geospatial solutions using cloud-native architectures. This opens up a new era of possibilities for geospatial data processing and analysis.
