Ignacio Vera updated LUCENE-7906:
---------------------------------
    Attachment: LUCENE-7906.patch

Yes, adding a new interface method to the polygon interface does the trick. I 
have added the method GeoPolygon.intersects(Geshape geoshape) and it is working 
as expected. Patch attached

> Hi,
> Working with geosahpes and trying to resolve spatial relationships between 
> them I came accross a big limitation when trying to solve the relationship 
> between two geopolygons. This object does not expose the internal structure. 
> In particular at some point, it is necessary to check if one polygon 
> intersects the edges of the other polygon which currently is not possible as 
> edges are not exposed.
> To be able to perform such operation it can be several options. The ones I 
> can think of are:
> 1) Expose the edges of the polygon ( and probably the notable points for the 
> edges) adding getters in the GeoPolygon interface. Easy to implement and 
> leave users the responsability of coding the spatial relationship.
> 2) Extends GeoPolygon interface to extends geoarea and leave the object make 
> the spatial relationship. 
> 3) Extends GeoShape  interface so all shapes can infer the spatial 
> relationship with other GeoShapes.
> I might be bias as my interest is in 2d Shapes in the unit sphere and there 
> might be some cases which what I propose cannot be implemented or are againts 
> the aim of the library.
> What do you think?
> Cheers,
> Ignacio
