Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6196:
--------------------------------------------

bq. In the meantime it might not be a bad idea putting this in an 
org.apache.lucene.spatial.geometry package in the _5x branch to give it some 
mileage and iterations in the wild until it can find its permanent home. 

+1, let's just add it here: progress not perfection!

bq.  I had reached out to SIS a few days ago to make them aware of his 
contribution

Thanks [~nknize]!  Here's the discussion over in our sister project, Apache

> I would like to explore contributing a geo3d package to Lucene.  This can be 
> used in conjunction with Lucene search, both for generating geohashes (via 
> spatial4j) for complex geographic shapes, as well as limiting results 
> resulting from those queries to those results within the exact shape in 
> highly performant ways.
> The package uses 3d planar geometry to do its magic, which basically limits 
> computation necessary to determine membership (once a shape has been 
> initialized, of course) to only multiplications and additions, which makes it 
> feasible to construct a performant BoostSource-based filter for geographic 
> shapes.  The math is somewhat more involved when generating geohashes, but is 
> still more than fast enough to do a good job.
