Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-7150:
-------------------------------------
How do you understand that people would use geometric queries? If your notion
of a geometric query is only all documents within circles with a center then I
challenge that -- it's very very limiting and would not handle polygons, paths,
rectangles, or any of the other many variants of areas somebody may well want
to search within. If you agree that searching for those kinds of things is
important, then 99.9999% of the code that you view as useless becomes 10%
rather quickly, because that *is* what geo3d is about.
> geo3d public APIs should match the 2D apis?

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael McCandless

> I'm struggling to benchmark the equivalent to
> {{LatLonPoint.newDistanceQuery}} in the geo3d world.
> Ideally, I think we'd have a {{Geo3DPoint.newDistanceQuery}}? And it would
> take degrees, not radians, and radiusMeters, not an angle?
> And if I index and search using {{PlanetModel.SPHERE}} I think it should
> ideally give the same results as {{LatLonPoint.newDistanceQuery}}, which uses
> haversin.
