-------------------------------------
also i want to defer removal of the multithreading in the test and other things
as much as possible. this issue has got enough going on as-is :)
> remove epsilon-based testing from lucene/spatial

> Currently, the random tests here allow a TOLERANCE and will fail if the error
> exceeds. But this is not fun to debug! It also keeps the door wide open for
> bugs to creep in.
> Alternatively, we can rework the tests like we did for sandbox/ points. This
> means the test is aware of the index-time quantization and so it can demand
> exact answers.
> Its more difficult at first, because even floating point error can cause a
> failure. It requires us to maybe work through corner cases/rework
> optimizations. If any epsilons must be added, they can be added to the
> optimizations themselves (e.g. bounding box) instead of the user's result.
