[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-2345) Extend geodist() and geofilt to support MultiValued lat long field

David Smiley commented on SOLR-2345:
------------------------------------

I wouldn't expect to see any progress here any time soon.  The underlying problem is that the FieldCache architecture is single-valued. Lucene needs a solution to rectify that. From what I hear, grand plans to rectify this FieldCache limitation in the past have failed (I don't know why).  But even if this hurdle was resolved, it'd only be half the battle. geodist() & geofilt() code is built around the notion of multiple fields supplying the lat & lon (VectorValueSource or something like that), not around it coming from a single field.  This limitation is at the core of these functions.

By comparison, I've found working on the "Lucene-Spatial-Playground" (temporary name) a breath of fresh air. Multi-valued fields is not in the FieldCache; we have a spatial substitute for that. And we don't use geodist() & geofilt() at all.
