How about adding S2 Geometry encoding support to Parquet driver? #6809

Closed igorgatis closed 1 year ago

igorgatis commented 1 year ago

Parquet driver already supports WKB, WKT and GEOARROW encoders. It would be really interesting adding support for Google's S2 Geometry (https://github.com/google/s2geometry/blob/master/src/s2/s2region.h#L118) encoding. S2 API is used by Google Maps and, besides great performance, it offers S2 Cell (https://s2geometry.io/) manipulation which is AMAZING for Big Data processing.

If that's a GeoParquet specific subject, this should be raised to https://github.com/opengeospatial/geoparquet/
