bq. I think if we are changing it to use 64-bits, then we should also fix the 
current rounding and overflow issues too?

In the Lucene-7165 patch the encoding tolerance is changed to be consistent 
1e-7. Indeed the instability occurs > 1e-7. You can see the issue present 
itself in {{scaleLon}} when the 32bit quantization is "truncated" to a long. 
Overflow is not a problem because the positive values are mapped using {{(0x1L 
<< 32) - 1}} so 360.0 correctly maps to 0xFFFFFFFF / 4294967295. Not sure what 
you mean by "fix the rounding issue"?

> {{LatLonPoint}} and {{GeoPointField}} tests pre quantizes test data to ensure 
> consistency with indexed (encoded) data. The pre quantized data then becomes 
> indexed, undergoing another quantization. To guarantee numerical stability 
> this should be changed such that the test data is quantized after indexing.
