- A Cartesian tier is the result of first flattening the world (using a 
Sinusodial projection) and then dividing up the world into 2^n grid boxes. Each 
tier (called "n") covers a particular area of the flattened earth, and as n 
grows bigger, so does the tier resolution. That is, tier 2 is at a much coarser 
resolution than say tier 10 that covers the same area.
+ A tile is the result of first flattening the world (using a projection) and 
then dividing up the world into 2^n grid boxes. Each tile (called "n") covers a 
particular area of the flattened earth, and as n grows bigger, so does the tile 
resolution. That is, 2nd level tile is at a much coarser resolution than say a 
tile at level 10 that covers the same area.
  
- See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1586 for the 
CartesianTierFieldType, which can index points into tiers.
+ See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1586 for the 
!SpatialTileField, which can index points into tiles at multiple levels.
