<h1 id="the-spatial-module-for-apache-lucene">The Spatial Module for Apache Lucene</h1>
<p> The spatial module is new to Lucene 4, replacing the old &quot;contrib&quot; module that came before it. The principle interface to the module is a <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Spatial.SpatialStrategy.html">SpatialStrategy</a> which encapsulates an approach to indexing and searching based on shapes. Different Strategies have different features and performance profiles, which are documented at each Strategy implementation class level. </p>
<p> For some sample code showing how to use the API, see SpatialExample.java in the tests. </p>
<p> The spatial module uses <a href="https://github.com/spatial4j/spatial4j">Spatial4j</a> heavily. Spatial4j is an ASL licensed library with these capabilities: * Provides shape implementations, namely point, rectangle, and circle. Both geospatial contexts and plain 2D Euclidean/Cartesian contexts are supported. With an additional dependency, it adds polygon and other geometry shape support via integration with <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jts-topo-suite/">JTS Topology Suite</a>. This includes dateline wrap support. * Shape parsing and serialization, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text">Well-Known Text (WKT)</a> (via JTS). * Distance and other spatial related math calculations. </p>
<p> Historical note: The new spatial module was once known as Lucene Spatial Playground (LSP) as an external project. In ~March 2012, LSP split into this new module as part of Lucene and Spatial4j externally. A large chunk of the LSP implementation originated as SOLR-2155 which uses trie/prefix-tree algorithms with a geohash encoding. That approach is implemented in <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Spatial.Prefix.RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy.html">RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy</a> today. </p>

A document is considered disjoint if it has spatial data that does not
intersect with the query shape. Another way of looking at this is that it&apos;s
a way to invert a query shape.</p>

<h4><a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Spatial.SpatialStrategy.html">SpatialStrategy</a></h4>
<section><p>The <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Spatial.SpatialStrategy.html">SpatialStrategy</a> encapsulates an approach to indexing and searching based on shapes.
<p>
Different implementations will support different features. A strategy should
document these common elements:
<ul><li>Can it index more than one shape per field?</li><li>What types of shapes can be indexed?</li><li>What types of query shapes can be used?</li><li>What types of query operations are supported? This might vary per shape.</li><li>Does it use the <a class="xref" href="http://localhost:8080/api/core/Lucene.Net.Search.FieldCache.html">FieldCache</a>, or some other type of cache? When?</li></ul>
If a strategy only supports certain shapes at index or query time, then in
general it will throw an exception if given an incompatible one. It will not
be coerced into compatibility.
<p>
Note that a SpatialStrategy is not involved with the Lucene stored field values of shapes, which is
immaterial to indexing and search.
<p>
Thread-safe.</p>
