David Smiley updated SOLR-2155:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
{panel:title=NOTICE} The status of this issue is a plugin for Solr 3.x located 
here: https://github.com/dsmiley/SOLR-2155.  Look at the introductory readme 
and download the plugin .jar file.  Lucene 4's new spatial module is largely 
based on this code.  The Solr 4 glue for it should come very soon but as of 
this writing it's hosted temporarily at https://github.com/spatial4j.  For more 
information on using SOLR-2155 with Solr 3, see 
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpatialSearch#SOLR-2155  This JIRA issue is closed 
because it won't be committed in its current form.

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.

I updated this issue's leading description info box to point to my GitHub repo 
for this code and its evolution.  It's also where the releases are posted now.
