Add support for geospatial types (geometry and geography)

Open MrPowers opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

Iceberg v3 supports geometry and geography types, see this PR for more info. Could ORC support these types so it can be compatible with Iceberg v3? Thanks for the great work on this project.
