Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-1131:
---------------------------------------

bq. Unfortunately, it's at the cost of readability and maintainability. 

Maybe.  It took me all of 30 seconds to figure out what it was doing.  I'll put 
some comments on it.  While readability is important, Solr's goal is not to 
make a product that a CS101 grad can read, it's too build a blazing fast search 
server.  That call could hit millions of times when indexing points.

> 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)
