Chris A. Mattmann commented on SOLR-1131:
-----------------------------------------

A comma is more user friendly - spaces are often already used as delimiters in 
quite a few places.
Why did you replace more optimized code that was already written in parsePoint 
with less optimized code?
{quote}

Meh, I could go either way on the comma/space issue. It would be nice to be 
compatible with an existing GeoPoint standard. I know georss uses space as the 
delimeter -- do you know of any that use ","?

RE: optimized code, can you be explicit? I would argue the code I inserted is 
more optimized from a readiability standpoint. It's a bit easier for your 
typical CS101 grad to understand. All that was being done in the prior patch is 
a set of forwards/backwards isolation loops to determine the start/end index to 
substring out, in case you have:

34.333      ,100.1 OR
34.333,100.1 OR
34.333,       100.1

At first blush, trying to understand that code was a bit harder than simply 
tokenizing on the known delimeter, and then trimming each tokenized value.

{code}
  out = externalVal.split(",");
+      if(out.length != dimension){
+        throw new SolrException(SolrException.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST, 
"incompatible dimension (" + dimension +
+            ") and values (" + externalVal + ").  Only " + i + " values 
specified");        
+      }
+      for(int j=0; j < out.length; j++){
+        out[j] = out[j].trim();
+      }
{code}

> In a few special cases, it makes sense for a single "field" (the concept) to 
> be indexed as a set of Fields (lucene Field).  Consider SOLR-773.  The 
> concept "point" may be best indexed in a variety of ways:
>  * geohash (sincle lucene field)
>  * lat field, lon field (two double fields)
>  * cartesian tiers (a series of fields with tokens to say if it exists within 
> that region)
