Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-6450:
--------------------------------------
Great stuff! Should this be used as the underlying implementation for Solr's
LatLonType (which currently does not have multi-valued support)? Any downsides
for the single-valued case?

> At the moment all spatial capabilities, including basic point based indexing
> and querying, require the lucene-spatial module. The spatial module, designed
> to handle all things geo, requires dependency overhead (s4j, jts) to provide
> spatial rigor for even the most simplistic spatial search use-cases (e.g.,
> lat/lon bounding box, point in poly, distance search). This feature trims the
> overhead by adding a new GeoPointField type to core along with
> GeoBoundingBoxQuery and GeoPolygonQuery classes to the .search package. This
> field is intended as a straightforward lightweight type for the most basic
> geo point use-cases without the overhead.
> The field uses simple bit twiddling operations (currently morton hashing) to
> encode lat/lon into a single long term. The queries leverage simple
> multi-phase filtering that starts by leveraging NumericRangeQuery to reduce
> candidate terms deferring the more expensive mathematics to the smaller
> candidate sets.
