[jira] [Comment Edited] (LUCENE-4167) Remove the use of SpatialOperation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4167?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13403059#comment-13403059 ]

Somewhat related to this is the Filter/Query distinction. Minutes ago I had the realization that makeQuery() could have a fixed implementation based on makeFilter() with makeValueSource() (for the distance). It's already committed so you can see. Assuming you also think it makes a good default implementation, this suggests any variety of makeXXXXQuery would call the same method, which seems less than ideal but not terrible.

Now I think about it, what exactly are the purposes of makeQuery and makeValueSource()? I don't think it's clear.  Does makeQuery() have to score the same Documents as makeFilter() identifies?  We don't verify that they do.  What does the score for makeQuery() mean? Is it always the distance between the centre of two Shapes? I can think of a IsDisJoint scenario where the two Shapes are disjoint but they have the same central point.  Consequently is the score related to the operation? What is makeValueSource() all about then? does it return the same score for the same Document as makeQuery() just doesn't do any filtering as well?

Whatever the answer is to all these questions, we really need to document them.

> Looking at the code in TwoDoublesStrategy I noticed SpatialOperations.BBoxWithin vs isWithin which confused me.  Looking over the other Strategys I see that really only isWithin and Intersects is supported.  Only TwoDoublesStrategy supports IsDisjointTo.  The remainder of SpatialOperations are not supported.
> I don't think we should use SpatialOperation as this stage since it is not clear what Operations are supported by what Strategys, many Operations are not supported, and the code for handling the Operations is usually the same.  We can spin off the code for TwoDoublesStrategy's IsDisjointTo support into a different Strategy.
