Minimal example C++ code to write a GeoParquet file using Apache Arrow
/*
* File: geoparquet.cpp
*
* Purpose: A minimal example to build a GeoParquet file using Apache Arrow.
*
* Prerequisites: The Apache Arrow library is needed and can be installed as follows
* $ git clone https://github.com/apache/arrow.git
* $ cd arrow/cpp
* $ mkdir build
* $ cd build
* $ cmake .. -DARROW_PARQUET=ON -DARROW_WITH_ZLIB=ON
* $ make -j8
* $ sudo make install
*
* Building: gcc geoparquet.cpp -Wl,-lstdc++ -Wl,/usr/local/lib/libparquet.so -Wl,/usr/local/lib/libarrow.so
*
* Running: ./a.out
*
* Notes:
* 1. The output of the program is a GeoParquet file called "myfile.parquet" written to the directory
* that the executable is run from.
* 2. The data written to the GeoParquet file consists of
* - a single data column of 1 byte integers
* - a timestamp column consisting of GPS times in seconds
* (i.e. number of seconds since GPS epoch of Jan 6, 1980)
* - a geometry column of longitude,latitude points conforming
* to the GeoParquet specification
* 3. To get a quick look into "myfile.parquet", use the parquet-tools (installed via pip)
* 4. The file can be read into a GeoDataFrame in Python with the following Python code
* >>> import geopandas
* >>> gdf = geopandas.read_parquet("myfile.parquet")
*
* Todo:
* 1. Use a arrow::date64() type for the timestamp column
