             Summary: Checks for coplanarity when creating polygons shows 
numerical issues
                 Key: LUCENE-8140
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8140
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: modules/spatial3d
            Reporter: Ignacio Vera


Coplanarity checks in GeoPolygonFactory shows numerical errors when the 
distance between two points is very small compared to the distance of the other 
two points. The situation is as follows:

Having three points A, B, & C and the distance between A & B is very small 
compared to the distance between A & C, then the plane AC contains all points 
(co-planar) but the plane defined by AB does not contain C because of numerical 
issues. This situation makes some polygons fail to build.
