Chris Male commented on LUCENE-3795:
------------------------------------
bq. Chris, in an email months ago you declared interest in a client library
jar, and Ryan absolutely insisted. The difficulties have been figured out.
Indeed I did but that was when we were developing this outside of Lucene, I'm
now thinking what's best for Lucene and am open to any ideas.
bq. I need my client code to use a real API rather then needing to build the
correct String query representations and parsing results.
Are you able to give us some more information on what your client code needs?
Is it just being able to instantiate a Shape and then convert it to a queryable
String format?
bq. perhaps we could mark lucene as an optional dependency in a combined
spatial module.
+1 This seems like the best compromise
bq. I'm fine with one .jar if we guarantee that the 'base' classes don't have
compile time access to lucene classes.
I also agree with this and we should bare it in mind as we progress.
> Replace spatial contrib module with LSP's spatial-lucene module

> Key: LUCENE-3795
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3795
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: modules/spatial
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Assignee: David Smiley
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> I propose that Lucene's spatial contrib module be replaced with the
> spatial-lucene module within Lucene Spatial Playground (LSP). LSP has been
> in development for approximately 1 year by David Smiley, Ryan McKinley, and
> Chris Male and we feel it is ready. LSP is here:
> http://code.google.com/p/lucene-spatial-playground/ and the spatial-lucene
> module is intuitively in svn/trunk/spatial-lucene/.
> I'll add more comments to prevent the issue description from being too long.
