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 > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-6797 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6797 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > 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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
