Norman Leutner commented on SOLR-773:
-------------------------------------
Hi,
just a comment on the distance function.
{quote}
So breaking things down, it seems like we basically need to be able to:
1) filter by a bounding box
2) filter by a geo radius (impl could first get the bounding box and narrow
within that...)
3) sort by distance
4) return the distance
{quote}
Due tue the surface distance on 0° latitude is 111.320 km per 1° longitude,
on 90° latitude it is 0 km per 1° longitude, if you use a rectangle that does
not include any sphere information,
this would be very inaccurate.
Instead (if not to load intense) some mathematical functions should be used
here.
For example you can calculate the distance between a given latitude and
longitude and another position by calculating
the radian measure between these two points using the angle to the earth middle.
