Implement `setindex!` for geospatial data #282

Open juliohm opened 1 year ago

juliohm commented 1 year ago

Currently our geospatial data types implement getindex to access the underlying table of attributes and geometries. We need the same high-level interface with setindex! to save users from having to learn and use Tables.jl explicitly.

The getindex seems to be implemented at GeoTables.jl. Is the setindex! also to be implemented there?

juliohm commented 1 week ago

That was the original idea, but we need to wait on Tables.jl as it currently doesn't provide a setindex API.

We also concluded that the geometry column needs to be immutable for type stability in downstream algorithms.
