Description

Azure Data Explorer has supported geospatial functions since 2019. Now the Kusto Query Language (KQL) has been extended with functions to calculate the H3 Cell token strings for a geographic location and vice versa. In addition, we've added new capabilities to generate polygons from all our geospatial clustering algorithms. An example can be found here: render "Kusto" on a map using H3 cell tokens.
