sedona_read_shapefile_to_typed_rdd: Create a typed SpatialRDD from a shapefile data source.
In r-spark/sparklyr.sedona: Sparklyr Extension for Apache Sedona

Create a typed SpatialRDD (namely, a PointRDD, a PolygonRDD, or a LineStringRDD) from a shapefile data source.

sedona_read_shapefile_to_typed_rdd(
  sc,
  location,
  type = c("point", "polygon", "linestring"),
  storage_level = "MEMORY_ONLY"
)

`sc`	A `spark_connection`.
`location`	Location of the data source.
`type`	Type of the SpatialRDD (must be one of "point", "polygon", or "linestring".
`storage_level`	Storage level of the RDD (default: MEMORY_ONLY).
