Solr support for multiple points (latitude-longitude) for a document

[Jean Croteau <jc...@onebigplanet.com>]

Hi all,

I was going through Solr 3.3.0 and it seems there's still no support for
performing GeoSpatial queries on documents that have more than one
latitude-longitude.  The multi field value is set to false everywhere.

We absolutely need this feature.  I had a look at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2155 in which David Smiley was
trying to implement a workable solution but unless I'm mistaken it was never
committed.

Does anyone know of a way to get a working solution with that fix?

Thanks

Hi.
  
Either port it to Solr 3, or use Solr 4 (trunk). 

I know and have used a Metacarta solution but that is also based on Solr 4 and I don't think they've back-ported it. I have no clue what they charge for it or where to get it; I have it as part of their larger solution.

There's also a small little-known set of source files tar'ed up and attached to SOLR-773 as "solrGeoQuery.tar" that I've examined; it attempts to solve this problem. It is not particularly fast and I believe there are bugs in +/- 10 degrees latitude but I haven't actually confirmed it.  That was actually the last thing I looked at before embarking on SOLR-2155 (geohashes).
