David Smiley commented on LUCENE-4208:
--------------------------------------
Here are my proposed updates to the javadocs:
makeDistanceValueSource:
{code}
/**
* Make a ValueSource returning the distance between the center of the
* indexed shape and {@code queryPoint}. If there are multiple indexed shapes
* then the closest one is chosen.
*/
{code}
makeRecipDistanceValueSource:
{code}
/**
* Returns a ValueSource with values ranging from 1 to 0, depending inversely
* to the distance from {@link
#makeDistanceValueSource(com.spatial4j.core.shape.Point)}.
* The formula is <code>c/(d + c)</code> where 'd' is the distance and 'c' is
* one tenth the distance to the farthest edge from the center. Thus the
* scores will be 1 for indexed points at the center of the query shape and as
* low as ~0.1 at its furthest edges.
*/
public final ValueSource makeRecipDistanceValueSource(Shape queryShape) {
{code}
> Spatial distance relevancy should use score of 1/distance

> The SpatialStrategy.makeQuery() at the moment uses the distance as the score
> (although some strategies -- TwoDoubles if I recall might not do anything
> which would be a bug). The distance is a poor value to use as the score
> because the score should be related to relevancy, and the distance itself is
> inversely related to that. A score of 1/distance would be nice. Another
> alternative is earthCircumference/2 - distance, although I like 1/distance
> better. Maybe use a different constant than 1.
