Nicholas Knize commented on LUCENE-6607:
----------------------------------------
Wait. Core is where GeoPointField started and it's intended target. To provide
a native GeoPointField to the core/*.lucene.document package. It only moved to
sandbox because of its immaturity and volatile API. If you look at the field
type and supported queries it's no different than Numerics and NumericRange
queries.
> 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.
