Slow spatial joins in Snowflake?

Use H3: convert geometries to hex cell IDs, join on integers. 100M+ rows in seconds.

30+ native H3 functions built in. Cluster on H3 for max perf.

Snowflake GEOMETRY vs GEOGRAPHY:

GEOMETRY = planar (joins, intersections)
GEOGRAPHY = spherical (distance in meters, area in sq m)

Joins → GEOMETRY. Measurements → GEOGRAPHY.
