             Summary: Rename SpatialPrefixTree's "Node" back to "Cell"
                 Key: LUCENE-4742
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4742
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/spatial
            Reporter: David Smiley
            Priority: Trivial


SpatialPrefixTree makes "Node"s which are basically a rectangular spatial 
region that is more colloquially referred to as a "Cell".  It was named "Cell" 
in the first place and for whatever reason, Ryan and/or Chris renamed it as 
part of extracting it to a top level class from an inner class.  Most comments 
and variable names still use the "cell" terminology.  I'm working on an 
algorithm that keeps track of a tree of "nodes" and it has gotten confusing 
which kind of node I'm referring to, as each Node has one cell.

In maybe a week or so if there isn't discussion to the contrary, I'm going to 
commit a rename it back to "Cell".  And... while we're on this naming subject, 
perhaps "SpatialPrefixTree" could be named "SpatialGrid" ?  FWIW the variables 
referring to it are always "grid".
