David Smiley commented on SOLR-2155:
------------------------------------
Harley,
You shouldn't need to know a thing about geohashes to use SOLR-2155. You use
it identically to LatLonType insofar as you add the data in lat,lon format and
get it out the same way in search results, and you can use the built-in geofilt
query parser (my gh_geofilt is has other options and is optional). Perhaps you
are inadvertently using Solr's geohash field? And/or maybe you forgot to
reindex?
p.s. please use the JIRA comment edit feature sparingly; it sends interested
parties notifications each time.

> There currently isn't a solution in Solr for doing geospatial filtering on
> documents that have a variable number of points. This scenario occurs when
> there is location extraction (i.e. via a "gazateer") occurring on free text.
> None, one, or many geospatial locations might be extracted from any given
> document and users want to limit their search results to those occurring in a
> user-specified area.
> I've implemented this by furthering the GeoHash based work in Lucene/Solr
> with a geohash prefix based filter. A geohash refers to a lat-lon box on the
> earth. Each successive character added further subdivides the box into a 4x8
> (or 8x4 depending on the even/odd length of the geohash) grid. The first
> step in this scheme is figuring out which geohash grid squares cover the
> user's search query. I've added various extra methods to GeoHashUtils (and
> added tests) to assist in this purpose. The next step is an actual Lucene
> Filter, GeoHashPrefixFilter, that uses these geohash prefixes in
> TermsEnum.seek() to skip to relevant grid squares in the index. Once a
> matching geohash grid is found, the points therein are compared against the
> user's query to see if it matches. I created an abstraction GeoShape
> extended by subclasses named PointDistance... and CartesianBox.... to support
> different queried shapes so that the filter need not care about these details.
> This work was presented at LuceneRevolution in Boston on October 8th.
