[Databricks] Allow registering Sedona functions with a custom prefix

Open CommanderWahid opened this issue 2 months ago • 7 comments

Hi,

I’m trying to use Apache Sedona in Databricks, alongside the new built-in Databricks spatial SQL functions.

Right now, Sedona registers sql ST functions like st_distance, st_point ... This causes name collisions with some Databricks’ native spatial functions.

It would be very useful if Sedona supported registering all SQL functions with a custom prefix, for example:

st_distance -> sedona_st_distance st_point -> sedona_st_point

This way, Sedona functions can coexist with Databricks functions in the same notebook without conflicts.

Is this currently possible, or could it be added as a feature in a future release?

Thank you!
