[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-4922) A SpatialPrefixTree based on the Hilbert Curve and variable grid sizes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4922?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13917781#comment-13917781 ] 

Varun  V Shenoy commented on LUCENE-4922:
-----------------------------------------

I am Varun and I will be really interested to pursue this as my GSOC2014 project. Any documentation, references, papers etc on this topic will be extremely helpful.

> My wish-list for an ideal SpatialPrefixTree has these properties:
> * Hilbert Curve ordering
> * Variable grid size per level (ex: 256 at the top, 64 at the bottom, 16 for all in-between)
> * Compact binary encoding (so-called "Morton number")
> * Works for geodetic (i.e. lat & lon) and non-geodetic
> Some bonus wishes for use in geospatial:
> * Use an equal-area projection such that each cell has an equal area to all others at the same level.
> * When advancing a grid level, if a cell's width is less than half its height. then divide it as 4 vertically stacked instead of 2 by 2. The point is to avoid super-skinny cells which occurs towards the poles and degrades performance.
> All of this requires some basic performance benchmarks to measure the effects of these characteristics.

Hi,
I have provided a link to the proposal I prepared last year for the benefit
of anyone looking for related background material like documentation,
papers etc. Hope it would be helpful.
