WKT is just a standard way to describe geometry. There *many* other
options, but WKT is a simple text based one that is used in other gis
databases, including mysql and PostGIS:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/gis-wkt-format.html
I'm not saying we *should* use it, just that we should keep it in mind.
If we were able to have an arbitrary geometry type, WKT would be a
good option to put in our xml documents to populate the data.
<str name="shape">POLYGON((0 0,10 0,10 10,0 10,0 0),(5 5,7 5,7 7,5 7,
5 5))</str>
However, discussion of arbitrary shapes may be a ways off... for now
if we get points and bounding boxes, i think we are in good shape :)

Too many acronyms in there. What is the WKT used for? Storing the
data? The schema? I am confused by the wikipedia text about WKT.

--------------------------------------
Hey guys
Placing both lat and long in the same field is good when used
internally, the majority of users
of localsolr have separate fields representing lat long, so make
sure the representation
does not effect the original document.
WKT uses point as the naming convention for single item's and I'd
suggest that rather than just str, it would
also be nice to get to a KML wt format as well. I've done some
stuff integrating in mapping components and
KML goes down real well.
However be aware as soon as you start supporting WKT, you will be
asked for ERSI support, and poly support,
ray tracing, collision and a lot more fun things :-)

Incorporate Local Lucene/Solr
-----------------------------
Key: SOLR-773
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-773
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
Priority: Minor
Local Lucene has been donated to the Lucene project. It has some
Solr components, but we should evaluate how best to incorporate it
into Solr.
