David Smiley commented on LUCENE-4167:
--------------------------------------

I agree with your complaint.  The only two supported operations are:
* Intersects -- equivalent to IsWithin when index data is points
* BBoxWIntersects -- again, equivalent to BBoxIsWithin when the indexed data is 
points.

The distinction of "overlaps" with "intersects" seems dubious.

The bbox handling is universally handled in SpatialArgs.getShape() which checks 
the operation and returns the wrapping rectangle.  So effectively the 
strategies need not even bother with the whole SpatialOperation concept, at 
least not at the moment.

My concern with your suggestion to remove SpatialOperation is that I do think 
it will return.  I know I want to work on an IsWithin when indexed data is 
shapes with area.  And it is serving the purpose of SpatialArgsParser parsing 
out the operation you want to do, which I don't think should go away (i.e. the 
query string shouldn't assume an intersect, it should include "Intersects(...)" 
 Perhaps the unsupported operations could be commented out?

Separately, I think com.spatial4j.core.query.* belongs in Lucene spatial.  It's 
not used by any of the rest of Spatial4j, yet it's tightly related to the 
concept of querying which is Lucene spatial's business, and is not the business 
of Spatial4j.

> Only TwoDoublesStrategy supports IsDisjointTo.  The remainder of

> We can spin off the code for TwoDoublesStrategy's IsDisjointTo support into a
