I have created a table which has a 'geometry' column that has geometries in WKT representation. I have saved this as a parquet file and uploaded to an S3 location and used AWS Athena to create a table using that parquet file. However the geometry column shows up as gibberish instead of a string.
For example
Do I need to do something different in the CREATE TABLE step or is it a problem with the parquet compression? How can I resolve this?
