Incomplete geometry

Data quality

A polygon with fewer than 4 coordinates (or a ring truncated mid-transfer) is not a valid closed shape and will fail or misbehave in a filler.

Detection

Ring vertex count < 4 after closing, or coordinate array truncated relative to declared length/checksum.

Mitigation

  • Validate vertex count and ring closure on ingest
  • Checksum or row-count validate file transfers to catch truncation

Affected conversions

  • PolygonH3 (center-contained)
  • PolygonH3 (fully-contained)
  • PolygonH3 (intersects)
