Ignacio Vera commented on LUCENE-8140:
--------------------------------------
Looking at the problem, it seems the problem appears when looking for the
polygon path. A possible solution is to update the current path to the new
coplanar point, something that it is not currently done.

> Coplanarity checks in GeoPolygonFactory shows numerical errors when the
> distance between two points is very small compared to the distance of the
> other two points. The situation is as follows:
> Having three points A, B, & C and the distance between A & B is very small
> compared to the distance between A & C, then the plane AC contains all points
> (co-planar) but the plane defined by AB does not contain C because of
> numerical issues. This situation makes some polygons fail to build.
