What changed
GEOMETRYandGEOGRAPHYdata types aligned with Iceberg v3, including CRS and geography edge algorithms.Why
Iceberg supports geospatial logical types in format v3. Paimon needs compatible JVM schema semantics and native Parquet annotations so CRS and edge-algorithm metadata survive across Java, Iceberg, Parquet, Spark, Flink, and Arrow boundaries. Engines without native geospatial types must reject the schema rather than perform a lossy conversion to binary.
Compatibility
GEOMETRYandGEOGRAPHYsupport with WKB valuesspherical; mixed SRIDs are unsupportedGeospatial columns require Parquet for data, per-level, and changelog files. They cannot be used as primary, partition, bucket, or sequence keys. When Iceberg metadata is enabled, a
GEOGRAPHYCRS cannot contain a comma, including in nested columns. Paimon records null counts but does not expose byte-wise WKB values as lower or upper bounds.Validation
