Advancing Spark - Intro to H3 and Mosaic

We saw in previous releases the introduction of H3 Geospatial functions to Databricks but... what does that actually mean and how do we use them? There's also a Databricks Labs project named Mosaic, which is adding an additional layer of benefit on top of H3... but what benefits do we get from it?
Well today we have a treat as we've convinced Milos Colic from Databricks to walk us through from geospatial, via H3 to Mosaic, sharing the benefits and some of the real-world value that's been delivered using the project. It's a long video, be warned!
As promised, we have a ton of links for you this time:

Great video! (Hexagons are the bestagons)

[@AnupKumar16]

Nice! Can we have a video showing off some code and hands on?

[@rendorHaevyn]

Excellent presentation - thank you.

[@racheloldroyd1199]

Thanks for sharing this - we'll certainly be trying a POC. Can I suggest that videos don't have the tinkly music in the background please :-) it distracts from the important stuff!

[@AdvancingAnalytics]

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'll tweak the audio a bit going forward - the guest vocals are blended with the background music so the audio balance wasn't great. I'll pull the music down a bit and make sure I can bring guests vocals up more! I'd like to keep /some/ background audio, but the priority is definitely the nerd-chat :D
