[jira] [Created] (LUCENE-6647) Add GeoHash String Utilities to core GeoUtils

Nicholas Knize created LUCENE-6647:

             Summary: Add GeoHash String Utilities to core GeoUtils
                 Key: LUCENE-6647
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6647
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Nicholas Knize


GeoPointField uses morton encoding to efficiently pack lat/lon values into a single long. GeoHashing effectively does the same thing but uses base 32 encoding to represent this long value as a "human readable" string.  Many user applications already use the string representation of the hash. This issue simply adds the base32 string representation of the already computed morton code.
