Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6881:
--------------------------------------------

bq. Curious; do you imagine that BKD might one day be modified to differentiate 
the indexed cells by two types 

I do think that's a natural (future!) generalization for {{DimensionalFormat}}, 
so we can index shapes.

It's useful in the 1D case as well: it would let us index numeric ranges, or 
even unions of disjoint ranges, in a single document/field.

But I think we should postpone this for now ... it would add quite a bit of 
complexity, and we need to see how dimensional values are used / hardened first.

> This is phase 4 for enabling indexing dimensional values in Lucene
> ... follow-on from LUCENE-6861.
> This issue removes the 3 pre-existing specialized experimental BKD
> implementations (BKD* in sandbox module for 2D lat/lon geo, BKD3D* in
> spatial3d module for 3D x/y/z geo, and range tree in sandbox module)
> and instead switches over to having the codec index the dimensional
> values.
