Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-6480:
-------------------------------------
bq. Here's a good discussion and analysis on the maximum error for a geo point
using the sphere over an earth model.
The article discusses error in *distance* computation. I'm talking not about
measuring distance halfway around the earth, but whether a given point is
properly detected to be within a given shape.

> [LUCENE-6450 | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6450] proposes a
> simple GeoPointField type to lucene core. This field uses 64bit encoding of 2
> dimensional points to construct sorted term representations of GeoPoints
> (aka: GeoHashing).
> This feature investigates adding support for encoding 3 dimensional
> GeoPoints, either by extending GeoPointField to a Geo3DPointField or adding
> an additional 3d constructor.
