Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-7241:
-------------------------------------
[~mikemccand]: There is a new Geo3DPoint.makeLargePolygon() method now in place
that builds large polygons. If you hook it up in luceneutil, it will probably
easily load the OSM london boroughs polygons without trouble (I would guess),
but it may blow up still trying to do the perf test. I'd like to kick it
around more before declaring it ready for prime time. Also, the BKD
implementation as it stands now will need to obtain the bounds for the polygon,
which may be expensive for a borough, so that may impact performance and may be
worth getting rid of if this is the solution we want.

> This ticket corresponds to LUCENE-7239, except it's for geo3d polygons.
> The trick here is to organize edges by some criteria, e.g. z value range, and
> use that to avoid needing to go through all edges and/or tile large irregular
> polygons. Then we use the ability to quickly determine intersections to
> figure out whether a point is within the polygon, or not.
> The current way geo3d polygons are constructed involves finding a single
> point, or "pole", which all polygon points circle. This point is known to be
> either "in" or "out" based on the direction of the points. So we have one
> place of "truth" on the globe that is known at polygon setup time.
> If edges are organized by z value, where the z values for an edge are
> computed by the standard way of computing bounds for a plane, then we can
> readily organize edges into a tree structure such that it is easy to find all
> edges we need to check for a given z value. Then, we merely need to compute
> how many intersections to consider as we navigate from the "truth" point to
> the point being tested. In practice, this means both having a tree that is
> organized by z, and a tree organized by (x,y), since we need to navigate in
> both directions. But then we can cheaply count the number of intersections,
> and once we do that, we know whether our point is "in" or "out".
> The other performance improvement we need is whether a given plane intersects
> the polygon within provided bounds. This can be done using the same two
> trees (z and (x,y)), by virtue of picking which tree to use based on the
> plane's minimum bounds in z or (x,y). And, in practice, we might well use
> three trees: one in x, one in y, and one in z, which would mean we didn't
> have to compute longitudes ever.
> An implementation like this trades off the cost of finding point membership
> in near O\(log\(n)) time vs. the extra expense per step of finding that
> membership. Setup of the query is O\(n) in this scheme, rather than O\(n^2)
> in the current implementation, but once again each individual step is more
> expensive. Therefore I would expect we'd want to use the current
> implementation for simpler polygons and this sort of implementation for
> tougher polygons. Choosing which to use is a topic for another ticket.
