David Smiley updated LUCENE-4942:
---------------------------------
    Attachment: spatial.alg

I ran a benchmark comparison.  The improvements are sweet all around!
33% smaller index
35% less memory while indexing
68% faster indexing (wow)
44% faster searching (wow)

I used a benchmark '.alg' file with quad tree, with reproducibly random circles 
to index and to search.  Search was "Intersects".  I attached the spatial.alg 
should someone want to see more parameters.

>
> Indexed non-point shapes are comprised of a set of terms that represent grid 
> cells.  Cells completely within the shape or cells on the intersecting edge 
> that are at the maximum detail depth being indexed for the shape are denoted 
> as "leaf" cells.  Such cells have a trailing '\+' at the end.  _Such tokens 
> are actually indexed twice_, one with the leaf byte and one without.
> The TermQuery based PrefixTree Strategy doesn't consider the notion of 'leaf' 
> cells and so the tokens with '+' are completely redundant.
> The Recursive [algorithm] based PrefixTree Strategy better supports correct 
> search of indexed non-point shapes than TermQuery does and the distinction is 
> relevant.  However, the foundational search algorithms used by this strategy 
> (Intersects & Contains; the other 2 are based on these) could each be 
> upgraded to deal with this correctly.  Not trivial but very doable.
> In the end, spatial non-point indexes can probably be trimmed my ~40% by 
> doing this.
