LUCENE-7123: deduplicate/cleanup spatial distance
> deduplicate/cleanup spatial distance
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-7123
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7123
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Fix For: master, 6.0
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-7123.patch, LUCENE-7123.patch
>
>
> Currently there is a bit of a mess here: SloppyMath.haversin is slightly
> different from GeoDistanceUtils.haversin, the latter is actually slightly
> faster and uses a simple fixed earth diameter (which makes calculations
> easier too).
> But one of these returns meters, the other kilometers. Furthermore
> lucene/spatial now uses some sin/tan functions that were added to sloppymath
> with some accuracy guarantees (which are untested, and not quite correct).
> Lucene/spatial queries also inconsistently mix the two different functions
> together for various purposes and this just causes headaches. Its tests did
> this recently too.
> We need to clean this up, otherwise users will be confused. E.G. they will
> see different results from expressions than from queries and not understand.
