Ignacio Vera commented on LUCENE-8126:
--------------------------------------
They are in reality spherical polygons with 4 edges not "squares" (aka
coordinate ranges which close to the poles are more like triangles). You can
see in the diagram that at 60 degrees horizontal lines are big circles (they
are slighltly curved on the equirectangular projection). I am not sure that a
different projection will help on this case, projection distorts the shapes as
well as the cells so not sure how much much benefit we will get.
Heatmaps are fantastic to represent data but users needs to be careful as cells
can represent different areas so results might be bias. In our case we do have
heatmaps on the sphere but we are using Healpix
([https://healpix.jpl.nasa.gov/)] to have equal area cells.
I am currently looking into a way to have a benchmark for STP similar to the
geobenchmark for BKD trees. The difficult part here is all the different
parameters you can set on a SPT.

I'm having difficulty finding the benchmark; can you provide a link to the GH
file?
{quote}
what are you looking for exactly?
Anyway, it would be nice to have this SPT commited, so my question is which
branches should I commit it? Not sure what is the policy here.

> Hi [~dsmiley],
> I have been working on a prefix tree based on goggle S2 geometry
> (https://s2geometry.io/) to be used mainly with Geo3d shapes with very
> promising results, in particular for complex shapes (e.g polygons). Using
> this pixelization scheme reduces the size of the index, improves the
> performance of the queries and reduces the loading time for non-point shapes.
> If you are ok with this contribution and before providing any code I would
> like to understand what is the correct/prefered approach:
> 1) Add new depency to the S2 library
> (https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.sgr/s2-geometry-library-java). It has
> Apache 2.0 license so it should be ok.
> 2) Create a utility class with all methods necessary to navigate the S2 tree
> and create shapes from S2 cells (basically port what we need from the library
> into Lucene).
> What do you think?
