Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-6699: ------------------------------------- Introducing a stray dependency outside of spatial3d seems like it would make maintenance *more* of a nightmare rather than less. Objects representing abstractions don't necessarily make things more messy either. Static methods are fine but when you have lack of any significant data abstraction you have a very messy picture indeed. And I don't recall you complaining over the last seven months about geo3d's architecture and organization, so I presume that it was acceptable to you. As for duping code, I guess it's all part of the bigger question is whether geo3d should remain separable from Lucene. For me, Geo3d at the moment needs to remain as a working whole without dependencies on the rest of Lucene, because otherwise it will not be usable in my employer's environment. That may change in the long run, after there's a public release of this stuff and we upgrade to it, but for now it would just make things much more complicated for me. > Integrate lat/lon BKD and spatial3d > ----------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-6699 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6699 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Attachments: Geo3DPacking.java, LUCENE-6699.patch, LUCENE-6699.patch, > LUCENE-6699.patch, LUCENE-6699.patch > > > I'm opening this for discussion, because I'm not yet sure how to do > this integration, because of my ignorance about spatial in general and > spatial3d in particular :) > Our BKD tree impl is very fast at doing lat/lon shape intersection > (bbox, polygon, soon distance: LUCENE-6698) against previously indexed > points. > I think to integrate with spatial3d, we would first need to record > lat/lon/z into doc values.
