-----------------------------------
Summary: LatLonPointSpatialField
Key: SOLR-10039
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10039
Project: Solr
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
Components: spatial
Reporter: David Smiley
Assignee: David Smiley
The fastest and most efficient spatial field for point data in Lucene/Solr is
{{LatLonPoint}} in Lucene's sandbox module. I'll include
{{LatLonDocValuesField}} with this even though it's a separate class.
LatLonPoint is based on the Points API, using a BKD index. It's multi-valued
capable. LatLonDocValuesField is based on sorted numeric DocValues, and thus
is also multi-valued capable (a big deal as the existing Solr ones either
aren't or do poorly at it). Note that this feature is limited to a
latitude/longitude spherical world model. And furthermore the precision is at
about a centimeter -- less precise than the other spatial fields but
nonetheless plenty good for most applications. Last but not least, this
capability natively supports polygons, albeit those that don't wrap the
dateline or a pole.
I propose a {{LatLonPointSpatialField}} which uses this. Patch & details
forthcoming...
