Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing DataFusion’s existing SQL query-engine capabilities alongside DuckDB’s spatial extension and BigQuery’s geospatial data documentation; the requested scope and completion criteria still need to be defined.
