Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-6196:
-------------------------------------

bq.  I know on the dev list you mentioned you only want to contribute this to 
Lucene but you didn't say the reason. I'm guessing it's so that you needn't 
re-ask permission from your employer, whom you may have agreements for a 
limited number of specific open-source projects.

That is the case.

> I would like to explore contributing a geo3d package to Lucene.  This can be 
> used in conjunction with Lucene search, both for generating geohashes (via 
> spatial4j) for complex geographic shapes, as well as limiting results 
> resulting from those queries to those results within the exact shape in 
> highly performant ways.
> The package uses 3d planar geometry to do its magic, which basically limits 
> computation necessary to determine membership (once a shape has been 
> initialized, of course) to only multiplications and additions, which makes it 
> feasible to construct a performant BoostSource-based filter for geographic 
> shapes.  The math is somewhat more involved when generating geohashes, but is 
> still more than fast enough to do a good job.
