Ryan McKinley commented on LUCENE-4616:
---------------------------------------

Earlier today, I committed a small change on LUCENE-3795 but realize the change 
was based on not-understanding some assumptions.

We should clarify the assumptions in javadoc and/or the API.

My understanding now is that the API returned ConstantScoreQuery rather then 
Query to explicitly say the score is undefined (not necessarily 
distance/overlap/whatever).

I see two directions for this call:

#1 - Return a Query, and in the javadoc for SpatialStrategy say that the score 
value is undefined (but strategies may have a meaningful score)

#2 - return ConstantScore and make the javadoc explicit that the score is not 
meaningful


I vote for #1 since it is more general and lets applications/implementations 
work more easily
