Adam Estrada commented on LUCENE-3795:
--------------------------------------
Yes...why not grow SIS seeing as its already in Apache Incubation? If another
project is launched with the same intention as SIS, wouldn't that mean there is
the potential for duplicate technologies sitting on an Apache server? There are
a ton of different components to building out a proper geospatial core
technology. GDAL/OGR, OpenLayers and the database storage techs therein
represent some of the high points to operating a full GIS. See Wikipedia
article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system) and note
that in order for there to be a full-fledged GIS, there has to be several
mutually exclusive components that work in harmony with each other. I see
Spatial4J being a great new way to implement geometric functions and storage
within a Lucene index. That leaves the format/projection support, visualization
and management components. Wouldn't it be nice to roll all of these fundamental
concepts in to a single project like SIS? I am looking at the big picture
rather than specific or individual components.
w/r,

> 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.
