The "geodesic" (surface of a sphere) work done a couple years ago was incomplete. However, over the past year a little-known "geo3d" module in Apache Lucene has appeared that does...

Awesome. As part of this we should also add some sort of dateline spanning solution (either built-in or more likely by breaking the line into two). And we can address...

I think we have a need for the underlying functionality, at least some of the methods therein. Where do you propose it "belongs"?

I agree; I'm going to mark this as deprecated for 0.4 and remove in a subsequent release. I'll move the code in question to perhaps a utility class in Lucene-spatial...

I don't have my IDE in front of me as I write this, but I can see you are not starting from a spatial context. Use JtsSpatialContext.GEO (declare as a...

Fine with me. It's debatable wether it's 'IO' or not but I don't care. FYI this class isn't used by Spatial4j; though it's used by Lucene spatial (of course). Ryan...

Hello. It's a known limitation that spatial4j doesn't handle pole-wrapped geometries. Yes it could be made to; perhaps you have an interest in helping. I do appreciate the detail in...

Some names are unfortunately long like the one you mentioned. I don't love underscores in methods but this method is tightly related to calcBoxByDistFromPt. The DEG is a convention I...

@rfalford12 @varsis Please collaborate together on a shared set of classes that meet your mutual needs (both for this issue and perhaps another or two similar GH issues). You two...
