Havasu: A Table Format for Spatial Attributes in a Data Lake Architecture
Havasu is an open table format that extends Apache Iceberg to support spatial data. Havasu introduces a range of features, including native support for manipulating and storing geometry and raster objects directly in data lake tables, and enables seamless querying and processing of spatial tables using Spatial SQL.
In this talk we will cover how Havasu supports spatial data types and storage (including GeoParquet), spatial statistics, and spatial filter push down and indexing.
