h3_centerasgeojson
function
Applies to: Databricks SQL Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and above
Returns the center of the input H3 cell as a point in GeoJSON format.
Arguments
h3CellIdExpr
: A BIGINT expression, or a hexadecimal STRING expression representing an H3 cell ID.
Returns
A value of the type STRING representing the center of the input H3 cell as a point in GeoJSON format.
The function returns NULL if the input expression is NULL.
The function does partial validation regarding whether the input argument is a valid H3 cell ID. A necessary, but not sufficient condition for a valid H3 ID is that its value is between 0x08001fffffffffff
and 0x08ff3b6db6db6db6
.
The behavior of the function is undefined if the input cell ID is not a valid cell ID.
Error conditions
If
h3CellIdExpr
is a STRING that cannot be converted to a BIGINT or corresponds to a BIGINT value that is either smaller than0x08001fffffffffff
or larger than0x08ff3b6db6db6db6
, the function returns H3_INVALID_CELL_ID.
Examples
-- Input a BIGINT representing a hexagonal cell.
> SELECT h3_centerasgeojson(599686042433355775)
{"type":"Point","coordinates":[-121.97637597255,37.345793375368]}
-- Input a STRING representing a pentagonal cell.
> SELECT h3_centerasgeojson('8009fffffffffff')
{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.536199075468,64.700000127935]}
-- Input is an invalid H3 cell ID.
> SELECT h3_centerasgeojson(0)
[H3_INVALID_CELL_ID] 0 is not a valid H3 cell ID
