             Summary: Spatial WithinPrefixTreeFilter can too eagerly find false-positive 
                 Key: LUCENE-4916
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4916
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: modules/spatial
            Reporter: David Smiley
            Assignee: David Smiley
            Priority: Minor


The recently committed WithinPrefixTreeFilter can sometimes match a false-positive due to the grid approximation technique.  Some of this is normal.  But if an indexed shape has any of its leaf detail levels "simplified" (removed) up to a higher level, then a false-positive match can occur that is a little too eager when one of those cells that were simplified-away don't intersect the query shape, and thus shouldn't be considered a match for this predicate. 

Marking as "Minor" because it should be quite rare, and when it does occur, the answer (a match) will usually appear close-enough due to the grid approximation that it's not a totally inaccurate answer.  I found this problem via extensive randomized testing.  I want to fix it because it should make my new tests pass :-)
