Improve spatial package.html to compare Strategys [LUCENE-4223] #5295

Open asfimport opened 12 years ago

asfimport commented 12 years ago

Spin off from #5245. One of the most important parts of using the spatial module is deciding which Strategy fits your needs. We should improve the package.html documentation so that it compares the Strategys, focusing on:

Underlying index format (lon/lat numeric fields vs grid terms vs ...)
Multi-value support
Indexable Shapes
Queryable Shapes
Query operations

I added some docs in trunk r1364782 (4x: 1364785) This included SpatialExample.java

We now need to document the strategies.
