David Smiley commented on LUCENE-3795:
--------------------------------------
Commons-lang is used by both Spatial4J and the new spatial-module. This
dependency can easily be severed and will happen shortly.
SLF4j is used by both Spatial4J and the new spatial-module. I really like SLF4J
but all this resistance to remove dependencies leads me to compromise, and I'll
find a way to removing it or have it as an optional dependency.
Uwe and others, the rationale for a core spatial library off of Lucene is my
last (long) comment:

For what its worth, Ryan and I absolutely love the plan for all of the points
in it. I wish someone had expressed their dissenting opinion on it at that
time -- From Ryan and I's perspective there basically isn't anything not to
like. Can anything be done to warm people up to this?
Rob; you're absolutely right that there needs to be a release tagged in the
Spatial4J repo. Ryan has already taken steps to get this library in published
Maven repos which is the most meaningful step that could be taken to officially
release it. Again, we should certainly tag it because it is both best practice
and easy.
The ASF is a bit heavy on process and less permissive on interactions with LGPL
dependencies (even optional ones?) and so I don't think ASF/incubator is a good
place for Spatial4j as an independent project. As frustrating as I find it,
the making of spatial-4j _could_ be reverted, returning back to the 2-module
setup that some people here seemed to express resistance to.
> 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.
