v.25.5New Feature

Support geo types

Support geo types in Parquet format. This closes #75317. #79777 (scanhex12).
Adds support for geo types when reading from and writing to the Parquet format in ClickHouse.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to store and process geographical data types in ClickHouse using the widely adopted Parquet file format. It solves the limitation of previous versions that did not support geo types in Parquet, allowing seamless integration with external systems and improved interoperability.

How to use it

Users can start reading and writing geo types such as Point, Polygon, and others directly with the Parquet format without additional configuration. Simply use Parquet as the input or output format in your SELECT or INSERT queries involving geo types.
