Thinking more about this, the way to get a Lucene based system to scale to the maximum extent possible for geospatial queries would be to get a geospatial query to be satisfied by just one (usually) Lucene index segment. It would take quite a bit of customization and work to make this happen. I suppose you could always optimize a Solr index and thus get one Lucene segment, but deploy 10-20x the number of Solr shards (aka "Solr cores") that one would normally do, and that wouldn't be that hard. There would be some work in determining which Solr core (== Lucene segment) a given document should belong to and which ones to query.
