Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-7212:
-------------------------------------
bq. Ideally we wouldn't need to expose things like GeoDistance and
DistanceStyle to the user? Can these somehow be under-the-hood implementation
details?
The classes that correspond to {code}LatLonPointDistanceComparator{code} and
{code}LatLonPointSortField{code} will need to have a {code}GeoDistance{code}
and {code}DistanceStyle{code} passed to them.
The {code}newDistanceSort{code} method would need to be equivalent to the
LatLonPoint API, so it would construct a GeoCircle that occupies the whole
world with the specified center, and use a standard arc distance DistanceStyle.
But the problem is that such a query is completely unconstrained without the
ability to go from shape/distance to XYZSolid bound, so it would not perform
reasonably in that form. If you introduced an upper bound to the circle radius
as an additional argument, then it would work fine without additional geo3d
code.
I would in general think that all "newXXXQuery" methods would have a
corresponding "newXXXSort" method, if the underlying shape implements
GeoDistance. So there would be "newDistanceSort" and "newPathSort", but not
"newBoxSort" or "newPolygonSort". The arguments would have to correspond
exactly, though, to "newXXXQuery", including distance bounds, for the geo3d API.

> Geo3D has a number of distance measurements and a generic way of computing
> interior distance. It would be great to take advantage of that for queries
> that return results ordered by interior distance.
