             Summary: Change spatial RPT default prefixGridScanLevel
                 Key: LUCENE-6340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6340
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/spatial
            Reporter: David Smiley


The "prefixGridScanLevel" tuning knob of RPT was shown to work pretty well based on benchmarking many years ago against point data.  It defaults to 4 up from the max levels in the tree.  However for non-point data, I've seen a benchmark where it's default setting hurt a ton.  Setting it to a large number like 100 (anything >= maxLevels) effectively disables it.  We should pick the default based on the "pointsOnly" property of RPT -- if you set pointsOnly you get the current default (scan the bottom 4 levels) otherwise you only scan the bottom level.

In addition, it's worth reviewing what gains there are for point-only data. Some testing of FlexPrefixTree last summer of point data showed it didn't seem to have much affect. But I'd like to investigate more rigorously as that wasn't primarily what we were looking for.
