Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6480: -------------------------------------------- I'm not following closely here (yet!) but just wanted to say: we shouldn't feel like we must use at most 8 bytes to encode lat+lon+altitude, since we are indexing into arbitrary byte[] terms in the postings ... I mean, the fewer bytes the better, but there's not a hard limit of 8. > Extend Simple GeoPointField Type to 3d > --------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-6480 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6480 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: core/index > Reporter: Nicholas Knize > > [LUCENE-6450 | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6450] proposes a > simple GeoPointField type to lucene core. This field uses 64bit encoding of 2 > dimensional points to construct sorted term representations of GeoPoints > (aka: GeoHashing). > This feature investigates adding support for encoding 3 dimensional > GeoPoints, either by extending GeoPointField to a Geo3DPointField or adding > an additional 3d constructor. -- 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
