Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8369: ------------------------------------- I don't think adding esoteric functionality (like non-WGS shapes) makes any kind of argument to pull basic lat/lon point searching out of core. We could add 10x more such esoteric functionality and it doesn't change a thing. Such core use cases should work easily for users without wading thru extra jars, third party dependencies, crazy licensing, or crazy class hierarchies. > Remove the spatial module as it is obsolete > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-8369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8369 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Task > Components: modules/spatial > Reporter: David Smiley > Assignee: David Smiley > Priority: Major > Attachments: LUCENE-8369.patch > > > The "spatial" module is at this juncture nearly empty with only a couple > utilities that aren't used by anything in the entire codebase -- > GeoRelationUtils, and MortonEncoder. Perhaps it should have been removed > earlier in LUCENE-7664 which was the removal of GeoPointField which was > essentially why the module existed.
