Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-6578:
-------------------------------------
Ok, the nearest thing I can think of to what you may be suggesting is as
follows:
- a distance calculator interface, with methods for computing plane distance
and point distance
- six implementations of that interface, one for linear, normal, linear
squared, normal squared, and arc
- GeoOutsideDistance then has two methods: one for GeoPoint + distcalcinterface
and one for (x,y,z) + distcalcinterface
[~dsmiley] Is that what you were talking about?
> Geo3d: arcDistanceToShape() method may be useful

> I've got an application that seems like it may need the ability to compute a
> new kind of arc distance, from a GeoPoint to the nearest edge/point of a
> GeoShape. Adding this method to the interface, and corresponding
> implementations, would increase the utility of the package for ranking
> purposes.
