########## format/spec.md: ########## @@ -623,6 +649,8 @@ Notes: 5. The `content_offset` and `content_size_in_bytes` fields are used to reference a specific blob for direct access to a deletion vector. For deletion vectors, these values are required and must exactly match the `offset` and `length` stored in the Puffin footer for the deletion vector blob. 6. The following field ids are reserved on `data_file`: 141. +For `geometry` and `geography` types, `lower_bounds` and `upper_bounds` are both points of the following coordinates X, Y, Z, and M (see [Appendix G](#appendix-g-geospatial-notes)) which are the lower / upper bound of all objects in the file. For the X values only, xmin may be greater than xmax, in which case an object in this bounding box may match if it contains an X such that `x >= xmin` OR`x <= xmax`. In geographic terminology, the concepts of `xmin`, `xmax`, `ymin`, and `ymax` are also known as `westernmost`, `easternmost`, `southernmost` and `northernmost`, respectively. For `geography` types, these points are further restricted to the canonical ranges of [-180 180] for X and [-90 90] for Y. + Review Comment: Do `lower_bounds` and `upper_bounds` mean the bounding box for the geospatial data points in the file? Can it be expanded to explain that bounds are based on a bounding box and these values are corners of the bounding box. Maybe this can be added to the Appendix. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
