Yes, approximating the circle to a polygon would work. You will have a penalty in performance depending how many points you use for approximating the circle (which is something the user will have to decide). But I am afraid if this solution scales well. The example I gave was the simple case, in general the input can be a path that can contains hundred of line segments. That mean you can end up with hundred of circles that you need to approximate using polygons with potentially thousands of edges. I would expect that at some point it can get very inefficient, even just building the query. I would find a pity not to expose the capability accepting heterogeneous geometries as it is something that is already supported internally. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
