Kevin Risden commented on SOLR-10486:
-------------------------------------

A bit late but a thought here: Isn't there an existing unit conversion library 
we could use here instead of reinventing the wheel? We might get other unit 
conversions for free besides just length (pressure, weight, etc)

> Add Length Conversion Evaluators

> Based on the work in SOLR-10485 I think it makes sense to add Conversion 
> evaluators. I think a good place to start is with the conversions listed here:
> https://www.learner.org/interactives/metric/conversion_chart.html#1
> This ticket will add length conversions and lay down the initial syntax.
> Sample syntax:
> {code}
> select(eval(), convert(inches, meters, 22) as meters)
> {code}
> This will return a single tuple with 22 inches converted to meters.
