Chris Male commented on LUCENE-4419:
------------------------------------

bq. I'm all for what you suggest – a test that could be used by multiple 
strategies

I didn't suggest that.  I suggested a common suite of Shapes.  I don't like the 
idea of having a single test for all Strategys since they work in different 
ways and support different things.

bq. I like randomized tests because it can catch errors that a static test 
simply didn't test for

Theres a difference between randomized tests and randomized Shape generation 
(again I didn't suggest we stopped randomized testing).  The world is massive, 
much of it isn't remotely interesting or challenging to our spatial 
implementations.  Just generating arbitrary Shapes somewhere on the globe seems 
a total waste of time.  

If we have a standard set of Shapes then we can use randomized testing to 
handle the permutations between them, but we shouldn't waste days waiting for 
tests to hit an interesting Shape.

> RecursivePrefixTreeFilter was modified in ~July 2011 to support spatial 
> filtering of non-point indexed shapes.  It seems to work when playing with 
> the capability but it isn't tested.  It really needs to be as this is a major 
> feature.
> I imagine an approach in which some randomly generated rectangles are indexed 
> and then a randomly generated rectangle is queried.  The right answer can be 
> calculated brute-force and then compared with the filter.  In order to deal 
> with shape imprecision, the randomly generated shapes could be generated to 
> fit a course grid (e.g. round everything to a 1 degree interval).
