Chris Male commented on LUCENE-4188:
------------------------------------
Thanks for taking this on David.
bq. I added a convenience method strategy.createStoredField()
I don't really like this. It is barely an improvement on the current code.
The whole point of this issue is that the storing of Shapes shouldn't be
related to Strategys. I think we should be explicit and require the consumer
code (Solr or something else) decides how it wants to store Shapes. If you
want a convenience method then it should be static, illustrating it is a
utility that the Strategys cannot override. Ideally I would like it somewhere
else entirely.
bq. Perhaps createFields should be renamed to createIndexedFields() ?
+1 I think that makes its role clearer.

> The logic for storing Shape representations seems to be different for each
> Strategy. The PrefixTreeStrategy impls store the Shape in WKT, which is nice
> if you're using WKT but not much help if you're not. BBoxStrategy doesn't
> actually store the Shape itself, but a representation of the bounding box.
> TwoDoubles seems to follow the PrefixTreeStrategy approach, which is
> surprising since it only indexes Points and they could be stored without
> using WKT.
> I think we need to consider what storing a Shape means. If we want to store
> the Shape itself, then that logic should be standardised and done outside of
> the Strategys since it is not really related to them. If we want to store
> the terms being used by the Strategys to make Shapes queryable, then we need
> to change the logic in the Strategys to actually do this.
