David Smiley updated SOLR-2155:
-------------------------------
Attachment: SOLR-2155_GeoHashPrefixFilter_with_sorting_no_poly.patch
Attached is a new patch. The highlights are:
* Requires the latest Solr trunk -- probably anything in the last few months:
If this is ultimately going to get committed then this needed to happen. There
are only some slight differences so if you really need an earlier trunk then
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
* Adds support for sorting, including multi-value: Use the existing geodist()
function query with a lat-lon constant and a reference to your geohash based
field. Note that this works by loading all points from the field into memory,
resolving each underlying full-length geohash into the lat & lon into a data
structure which is a List<Point2D>[]. This is improved over Bill's patch,
surely, but it could use some optimization. It's not optimized for the
single-value case either; that's a definite TODO.
* Polygon/WKT features have been omitted due to LGPL licensing concerns of
JTS. I've left hooks for their implementation to make adding on this capability
that already existed easy. You'll easily figure it out if you are so inclined.
I might ad this as a patch shortly (not to be committed) when I get some time;
but longer term it will re-surface under a separate project. Don't worry;
it'll be painless to use if you need it.
* This might be controversial but as part of this patch, I removed the
ghhsin() and geohash() function queries. Their presence was confusing; I simply
don't see what point there is too them now that this patch fleshes out the
geohash capability.
* I decided to pre-register my "SpatialGeoHashFilterQParser" as "geohashfilt",
instead of requiring you to do so in solrconfig.xml. You could use "geofilt"
for point-radius queries but I prefer this one since I can specify the bbox
explicitly.
There are a few slight changes to GeoHashPrefixFilter that crept in from
unfinished work (notably tying sorting to filtering in an efficient way) but it
is harmless.
Bill, thanks for kick-starting the multi-value sorting. I re-used most of your
code.

> There currently isn't a solution in Solr for doing geospatial filtering on
> documents that have a variable number of points. This scenario occurs when
> there is location extraction (i.e. via a "gazateer") occurring on free text.
> None, one, or many geospatial locations might be extracted from any given
> document and users want to limit their search results to those occurring in a
> user-specified area.
> I've implemented this by furthering the GeoHash based work in Lucene/Solr
> with a geohash prefix based filter. A geohash refers to a lat-lon box on the
> earth. Each successive character added further subdivides the box into a 4x8
> (or 8x4 depending on the even/odd length of the geohash) grid. The first
> step in this scheme is figuring out which geohash grid squares cover the
> user's search query. I've added various extra methods to GeoHashUtils (and
> added tests) to assist in this purpose. The next step is an actual Lucene
> Filter, GeoHashPrefixFilter, that uses these geohash prefixes in
> TermsEnum.seek() to skip to relevant grid squares in the index. Once a
> matching geohash grid is found, the points therein are compared against the
> user's query to see if it matches. I created an abstraction GeoShape
> extended by subclasses named PointDistance... and CartesianBox.... to support
> different queried shapes so that the filter need not care about these details.
> This work was presented at LuceneRevolution in Boston on October 8th.
