I am excited about this tech and where it's going but I can't help try to point *away from* the thing that just didn't bring the tech *already* but obstinately blocked it for reasons unknown

https://sedona.apache.org/latest/blog/2026/03/01/sedonadb-030-release/#r-gdalogr-read-support here's some examples of less-amazing alternative: https://gist.github.com/mdsumner/fc16a9f98ed35dbfcd944124da02fcf5 supported A VERY LONG TIME by #GDAL

SedonaDB 0.3.0 Release - Apache Sedona

Apache Sedona is a cluster computing system for processing large-scale spatial data. Sedona extends existing cluster computing systems, such as Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Snowflake, with a set of out-of-the-box distributed Spatial Datasets and Spatial SQL that efficiently load, process, and analyze large-scale spatial data across machines.
