             Summary: Add GeoHash String Utilities to core GeoUtils
                 Key: LUCENE-6647
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6647
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Nicholas Knize


GeoPointField uses morton encoding to efficiently pack lat/lon values into a 
single long. GeoHashing effectively does the same thing but uses base 32 
encoding to represent this long value as a "human readable" string.  Many user 
applications already use the string representation of the hash. This issue 
simply adds the base32 string representation of the already computed morton 
code.
