@camposandro What is the current behavior, without the lowest order specified?
@delucchi-cmu Please correct me if I am wrong, but at the moment we can run the importer with either a constant pixel order or a highest pixel order. Specifying a highest order we can control the maximum order the catalog is generated at but not its minimum order (unless we want to play trial-and-error with the value of pixel threshold). E.g. for very small and sparse datasets (like the ones in unit tests), the likelihood that we will obtain a catalog of order 0 / 1 is high. If we want to generate a catalog of at least order 3 it's easier to just use the lowest_order
parameter and compute the pixel map accordingly.

It would be useful to also compute the pixel map with the
lowest_order
. We need it in the import pipeline arguments.https://github.com/astronomy-commons/hipscat-import/blob/ea600421b14e3546dc7f81b31a8017f1560e6963/src/hipscat_import/catalog/run_import.py#L140-L145
