Summary: Deprecate GeoPointField & queries
Key: LUCENE-7664
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7664
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Assignee: Michael McCandless
Fix For: 6.5.0, master (7.0)
The new dimensional points implementations for geo distance, polygon, shape
filtering are substantially faster and creates a smaller index than the
postings based {{GeoPointField}}. They also offer nearest neighbor search,
which {{GeoPointField}} doesn't.
I think we should deprecate {{GeoPointField}} and focus on the points
implementations.
We have still other legacy postings based geo implementations but I think we
should keep them for now since they have functionality that points doesn't yet
have: the ability to index a shape and search for shapes overlapping the
indexed shapes.
