Missing spatial parameters while building solr query

[palak21]

We are building a solr query using this library. we want to add couple of spatial fields namely sname and pt How do you add spatial parameters to the query builder

Currently, this library doesn't support spatial parameters but adding them is a good idea.

is it possible to amend the URL on the fly and add the spatial parameters till the time we have support for the same?

Hey, It seems SolrQuery class does not have an option to set Spatial parameters. Do you have idea of how we can achieve this? https://lucene.apache.org/solr/6_6_0/solr-solrj/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/SolrQuery.html

According to this thread: https://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Spatial-search-with-SolrJ-3-1-How-to-td2961136.html, we can achive as follows:

solrQuery.setQuery("*:*");
solrQuery.addFilterQuery("{!func}geodist()");
solrQuery.set("sfield", "store");
solrQuery.set("pt", lat + "," + lon);
solrQuery.set("sort", "geodist() asc");
