From ab505f4e099e8b896dd3f14ae758f455f5f8f673 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier de la Torre Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 09:53:41 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat: add databricks.arrow.native_geospatial option for Arrow geometry Expose geospatialAsArrow support (SPARK-54232) as an opt-in ADBC connection option. When set to "true", geometry/geography columns arrive as Struct instead of EWKT strings. This depends on databricks/databricks-sql-go#328 which adds the WithArrowNativeGeospatial() ConnOption to the underlying Go SQL driver. Usage via adbc_connect (e.g. from DuckDB adbc_scanner): adbc_connect({ 'driver': 'libadbc_driver_databricks.dylib', 'databricks.server_hostname': '...', 'databricks.arrow.native_geospatial': 'true' }) --- go/database.go | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ go/driver.go | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 30 insertions(+) diff --git a/go/database.go b/go/database.go index 495b2453..402a05db 100644 --- a/go/database.go +++ b/go/database.go @@ -80,6 +80,9 @@ type databaseImpl struct { oauthClientID string oauthClientSecret string oauthRefreshToken string + + // Arrow serialization options + useArrowNativeGeospatial bool } func (d *databaseImpl) resolveConnectionOptions() ([]dbsql.ConnOption, error) { @@ -148,6 +151,13 @@ func (d *databaseImpl) resolveConnectionOptions() ([]dbsql.ConnOption, error) { opts = append(opts, dbsql.WithMaxDownloadThreads(d.downloadThreadCount)) } + // Arrow-native geospatial serialization (SPARK-54232). + // When enabled, geometry/geography columns arrive as Struct + // instead of EWKT strings, enabling native geometry passthrough. + if d.useArrowNativeGeospatial { + opts = append(opts, dbsql.WithArrowNativeGeospatial(true)) + } + // TLS/SSL handling // Configure a custom transport with proper timeout settings when custom // TLS config is needed.
