[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-6797) Add score=degrees|kilometers|miles for AbstractSpatialFieldType

Ishan Chattopadhyaya commented on SOLR-6797:
--------------------------------------------

[~dsmiley], I'm wondering how could a user specify score=distance (bullet point 2) and score=miles (bullet point 3), since both seem to use the score parameter? 

Shouldn't we use something like:
score=distance|area|area2D 
and
units=degrees|kilometers|miles 
?

> Annoyingly, the units="degrees" attribute is required for fields extending AbstractSpatialFieldType (e.g. RPT, BBox).  And it doesn't really have any effect.  I propose the following:
> * Simply drop the attribute; ignore it if someone sets it to "degrees" (for back-compat).
> * When using score="distance", or score=area or area2D (as seen in BBoxField) then use kilometers if geo=true, otherwise degrees.
> * Add support for score=degrees|kilometers|miles|degrees
