David Smiley commented on LUCENE-7669:
--------------------------------------
It's also true that there tends to be little data out there in the Pacific, and
thus whoever is searching out there is going to find their searches to be fast
in general by virtue of that factor. This is a generalization of course.

> 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.
