Bill Bell commented on SOLR-1568:
---------------------------------

The calculations of distance appears to be off.

Note: "The radius of the sphere to be used when calculating distances on a 
sphere (i.e. haversine). Default is the Earth's mean radius in kilometers (see 
org.apache.solr.search.function.distance.Constants.EARTH_MEAN_RADIUS_KM) which 
is set to 3,958.761458084784856. Most applications will not need to set this."

The radius of the earth in KM is  6371.009 km (≈3958.761 mi).

Also filtering distance appears to be off - example data:

45.17614,-93.87341 to 44.9369054,-91.3929348 Approx 137 miles Google. 169 miles 
= 220 kilometers

http://....../solr/select?fl=*,score&start=0&rows=10&q={!sfilt%20fl=store_lat_lon}&qt=standard&pt=44.9369054,-91.3929348&d=280&sort=dist(2,store,vector(44.9369054,-91.3929348))
 asc 

Nothing shows. d=285 shows results. This is off by a lot.

> Given an index with spatial information (either as a geohash, 
> SpatialTileField (see SOLR-1586) or just two lat/lon pairs), we should be 
> able to pass in a filter query that takes in the field name, lat, lon and 
> distance and produces an appropriate Filter (i.e. one that is aware of the 
> underlying field type for use by Solr. 
> The interface _could_ look like:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt dist=20}location:49.32,-79.0
> {code}
> or it could be:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt lat=49.32 lat=-79.0 f=location dist=20}
> {code}
> or:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt p=49.32,-79.0 f=location dist=20}
> {code}
> or:
> {code}
> &fq={!sfilt lat=49.32,-79.0 fl=lat,lon dist=20}
> {code}
