spatial.closest and spatial.withinDistance results not consistent?

[galtay]

Hello,

neo4j version: 3.5.25 spatial jar file: neo4j-spatial-0.26.2-neo4j-3.5.2-server-plugin.jar

I seem to be getting inconsistent results (or I'm not understanding the procedures) from spatial.closest and spatial.withinDistance. If I load the following shapefile (.shp is available after unzipping) via

https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2019/shp/cb_2019_01_puma10_500k.zip

spatial.importShapefile

I get 38 nodes and 37 relationships.

When I query with

CALL spatial.withinDistance("cb_2019_01_puma10_500k", {longitude:-88, latitude:30}, 100.0)

I get 4 nodes back.

However, when I query with

CALL spatial.closest("cb_2019_01_puma10_500k", {longitude:-88, latitude:30}, 100.0)

I get zero nodes back. This seems to be the case for any value of distance I use as the final argument. Is this the intended behavior?

best, -Gabriel
