Note: This feature is highly experimental.

In any of the data specs, there is now the option of providing spatial dimensions. For example, for a JSON data spec, spatial dimensions can be specified as follows:

    <code>
    {
        "type": "JSON",
        "dimensions": <some_dims>,
        "spatialDimensions": [
            {
                "dimName": "coordinates",
                "dims": ["lat", "long"]
            },
            ...
        ]
    }
    </code>
