             Summary: A better spatial query parser
                 Key: SOLR-4242
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4242
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: query parsers
            Reporter: David Smiley
             Fix For: 4.2


I've been thinking about how spatial support is exposed to Solr users. 

Presently there's the older Solr 3 stuff, most prominently seen via \{!geofilt} 
and \{!bbox} done by [~gsingers] (I think). and then there's the Solr 4 fields 
using a special syntax parsed by Lucene 4 spatial that looks like 
mygeofield:"Intersects(Circle(1 2 d=3))" What's inside the outer parenthesis is 
parsed by Spatial4j as a shape, and it has a special (non-standard) syntax for 
points, rects, and circles, and then there's WKT.  I believe this scheme was 
devised by [~ryantxu].

I'd like to devise something that is both comprehensive and is aligned with 
standards to the extent that it's prudent.  The old Solr 3 stuff is not 
comprehensive and not standardized.  The newer stuff is comprehensive but only 
a little based on standards. And I think it'd be nicer to implement it as a 
Solr query parser.  I'll say more in the comments.
