Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1131:
------------------------------------

bq. 1. Why is TextField overriding getFieldQuery when it isn't called, except 
possibly via the FieldQParserPlugin?

As you point out, it is called by FieldQParserPlugin, and it's a move to make 
things a bit more orthogonal - with a little more work it could even be used by 
the SolrQueryParser for text field types as well.  It also opened the (expert) 
possibility of creating a new TextField type that handled things a bit 
differently.

bq. 2. I'm not sure I understand the getDistance, getBoundingBox methods on the 
GeoFieldType. It seems like that precludes one from picking a specific distance 
(for instance, some times you may want a faster approx. and others a slower 
more accurate calculation)

This decision will often be made for the user by the choice of field-types.  
End users and app clients should be able to specify something like a bounding 
box filter and get the most performant implementation w/o having to know if it 
resolves to range queries, cartesian grids, or whatever.

fq={!gbox point=110,220 r=1.5}   #specify a point and a radius

This does not necessarily preclude users from calling exact functions if they 
know they are supported for that field type.

> In a few special cases, it makes sense for a single "field" (the concept) to 
> be indexed as a set of Fields (lucene Field).  Consider SOLR-773.  The 
> concept "point" may be best indexed in a variety of ways:
>  * geohash (sincle lucene field)
>  * lat field, lon field (two double fields)
>  * cartesian tiers (a series of fields with tokens to say if it exists within 
> that region)
