Spatial joins are already half-implemented in https://github.com/geoarrow/geoarrow-rs/pull/580. https://github.com/msalib/spatial-join is a useful reference but we can't use it directly because it uses geo objects. Additionally, the spatial joins here will use https://github.com/kylebarron/geo-index, which is more memory-efficient and will be quite a bit faster than rstar for our static data use case.
Oh that's awesome. Is this going to be just nearest (or similar) or is the other half (yet to be implemented) going to be other predicates (contains, intersects, etc)?
Initially intersects but should be all predicates eventually

Not sure if you'd prefer to use r star directly but some form of spatial joins would be nice.
