             Summary: Add Polygon.fromGeoJSON
                 Key: LUCENE-7380
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7380
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: master (7.0), 6.2


Working with {{Polygon}} is a bit tricky today because you typically
must use an external dependency to convert e.g. a GeoJSON string into
Lucene's Polygon class ... I think this is a weakness in our API, and
it clearly confuses users: http://markmail.org/thread/mpge4wqo7cfqm4i5

So I created a simplistic GeoJSON parser to extract a single Polygon
or MultiPolygon from a GeoJSON string, without any dependencies.  The
parser only handles the various ways that a single Polygon or
MultiPolygon can appear in a GeoJSON string, and throws an exception
otherwise.
