Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7669:
--------------------------------------------
It's not a single polygon crossing the date line here right? (I think we check
and prevent that). But rather N polygons in a multi-polygon search, where
their overall bounding box crosses the dateline. I do think it is bad that we
become so slow in this case? Why should we penalize people searching around
the Fiji islands :)
> Rectangle.fromPolygon could compute smaller bounding boxes

> Currently it computes the smallest bounding box that does not cross the
> dateline. However allowing to cross the dateline could allow to create
> smaller bounding boxes. For instance, because of that, the bounding box of
> the Russia polygon has a width of 360 longitude degrees. By allowing
> rectangles that cross the dateline, we could get a polygon whose width is
> only 171 longitude degrees. This is useful combined with LUCENE-7661 since it
> means the grid would have higher resolution.
