David Smiley commented on SOLR-6797:
------------------------------------
The origins of why I added the units attribute was for the coordinate values,
which are in degrees. And for consistency, I returned distances in degrees as
well.
> Add score=degrees|kilometers|miles for AbstractSpatialFieldType

> Components: spatial
> Reporter: David Smiley

> Annoyingly, the units="degrees" attribute is required for fields extending
> AbstractSpatialFieldType (e.g. RPT, BBox). And it doesn't really have any
> effect. I propose the following:
> * Simply drop the attribute; ignore it if someone sets it to "degrees" (for
> back-compat).
> * When using score="distance", or score=area or area2D (as seen in BBoxField)
> then use kilometers if geo=true, otherwise degrees.
> * Add support for score=degrees|kilometers|miles|degrees
