Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-7202:
-------------------------------------
bq. I proposed PlanetPoint for the "3d" version. Then we can have the same
lat/lon signature methods that are added now (which should use a sphere model,
not ellipsoid, because it should match exactly how LatLonPoint models the
earth), and then alternative methods that take PlanetModel.
I think that ship has already sailed. The decision was made to use WGS84 and
keep the public API as simple as possible.
As for "PlanetPoint" vs. "XYZPoint", Robert's naming was meant to convey a
representation. In XYZPoint, the x, y, and z values are stored, etc.

> Reporter: Karl Wright
>
> There are three different spatial implementations circulating at the moment,
> and nobody seems happy with the naming of them. For each implementation
> strategy, we need both a module name and a descriptive technology name that
> we can use to distinguish one from the other. I would expect the following
> people to have an interest in this process: [~rcmuir], [~dsmiley],
> [~mikemccand], etc.
