David Smiley commented on SOLR-11943:
-------------------------------------

I appreciate that this information will be documented in the ref guide.  But 
this doesn't mean the _code_ should not be documented, at least a little.  
Perhaps in an ideal world we'd have some fancy mechanism of making them the 
same thing for API oriented things like this but alas we don't have that.

I think "LatLon...." oriented name is much clearer as to both what it contains 
and in some contexts the order of the two dimensions.  Consider also that we 
have a field type "LatLonPointSpatialField".  "Location" is vague; perhaps 
someone has a circle or bounding box or neither (just a place name) for their 
_location_.  If you really don't agree then perhaps a 3rd person could lend 
their opinion to help pick.

> This ticket will add the following functions / features:
> 1) *locationVectors* function: Reads a list of tuples that contain a 
> *location* field type and returns a *matrix* of lat/long vectors. 
> 2) Add support for *haversinMeters* distance measure.
> With the addition of these two functions we'll have the ability to do various 
> distance based machine learning algorithms (distance matrices, clustering, 
> knn regression etc...) with location data.
