David Smiley commented on LUCENE-2599:
--------------------------------------
Deprecate in 3x, absolutely. We know it's broken and we need to send a message
to folks who don't know any better. I hope we can at least get consensus on
this part.
I don't see any point in this bad code moving forward into Lucene 4, whether
there is a replacement or not.

> Key: LUCENE-2599
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2599
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement

> The spatial contrib is blighted by bugs. The latest series, found by Grant
> and discussed
> [here|http://search.lucidimagination.com/search/document/c32e81783642df47/spatial_rethinking_cartesian_tiers_implementation]
> shows that we need to re-think the cartesian tier implementation.
> Given the need to create a spatial module containing code taken from both
> lucene and Solr, it makes sense to deprecate the spatial contrib, and start
> from scratch in the new module.
