Oof looks like these have gotten really out-of-whack!
We updated both these columns and and the analogous columns for regional statistics downloads to drop the verbose centroid_* prefix. The goal of that PR was to document complementary changes that would be made on the data processing side, but it looks like that didn't quite happen (cc @norlandrhagen).
Rather than make any pipeline changes, I'd suggest the following:
- Subsetted data downloads: Is it possible to remove the
centroid_*prefix in Client downloads via duckdb-wasm ocr-web#155 and revert this change? - Regional statistics downloads: It looks like lat/lon have been dropped from these entirely 😕 . Shall we just update the documentation to reflect that?
- By deleting these entries in the schema:
Lines 63 to 64 in f90484e

Should we also add an entry for geometry?
