             Summary: Move geo3d to Lucene's sandbox module
                 Key: LUCENE-6607
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6607
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 5.3, Trunk


Geo3d is a powerful low-level geo API, recording places on the earth's surface 
in the index in three dimensions (as 3 separate numbers) and offering fast 
shape intersection/distance testing at search time.

[~daddywri] originally contributed this in LUCENE-6196, and we put it in 
spatial module, but I think a more natural place for it, for now anyway, is 
Lucene's sandbox module: it's very new, its APIs/abstractions are very much in 
flux (and the higher standards for abstractions in the spatial module cause 
disagreements: LUCENE-6578), [~daddywri] and others could iterate faster on 
changes in sandbox, etc.

This would also un-block issues like LUCENE-6480, allowing GeoPointField and 
BKD trees to also use geo3d.
