Geo types example

[nuts-rice]

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

Hi, I was wondering about the geospatial data storage capabilities for this. It looks like there's specifications such as https://www.geoiceberg.org/ in development and articles such as this I think that developers in the geospatial Rust community would love to integrate this. Could it be possible to include an example to get started ? Please advise whether this is actually helpful or not really necessary.

Describe the solution you'd like

An example rest server that holds onto and serves Geo types. Ingest could include Parquet, GeoJSON etc .

Willingness to contribute

I would be willing to contribute to this feature with guidance from the Iceberg Rust community

This is still relevant; we'd like to support reading and writing data with the latest geometry type in Iceberg spec.

This is part of v3, let's use this issue to track it.

Thanks for opening this issue! The example is excellent, but I think we need to update Iceberg Rust to fully support the geometry and geography types in Iceberg Rust. These are being added to apache/iceberg as well. Should I create a separate issue for the implementation?

If you'd like to track the implementation specifically there, sure.
