             Summary: GeoPointField should use full 64 bit encoding
                 Key: LUCENE-6710
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6710
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Nicholas Knize


Current GeoPointField uses 31 bits for each lat and long, respectively.  This 
causes a precision error for the maximum bounds for 2D mapping applications 
(e.g., instead of maximum of 180, 90 the max value handled is 179.999999, 
89.999999).

This issue improves precision for the full 2D map boundaries by using the full 
32 bit range for lat/lon values, resulting in a morton hash using the full 64 
bit range.
