Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2147:
-----------------------------------------
Since this is the first issue which comes near to be committed some questions
arise from my side if we should mark the new API as experimental like the
function API in o.a.l.s.function. I think it would make sense to keep a warning
that contrib/spatial might slightly change in the future.
On the other hand we should try to put more confidence into contrib/spatial for
more user acceptance. I currently work for customers that moved away from
spatial due to its early stage and "flux" warnings which is quite
understandable though. I would like to hear other opinions regarding this topic
- especially opinions of more experienced committers would be appreciated.

>
> - DistanceUnits can be improved by giving functionality to the enum, such as
> being able to convert between different units, and adding tests.
> - GeoHashUtils can be improved through some code tidying, documentation, and
> tests.
> - SpatialConstants allows us to move all constants, such as the radii and
> circumferences of Earth, to a single consistent location that we can then use
> throughout the contrib. This also allows us to improve the transparency of
> calculations done in the contrib, as users of the contrib can easily see the
> values being used. Currently this issues does not migrate classes to use
> these constants, that will happen in issues related to the appropriate
> classes.
