One piece of functionality that I need is the ability to index a spatial shape. I've begun implementing this for solr 1.4 using just the spatial capabilities in lucene with a custom update processor and query parser. At this point I'm only supporting rectangles and the shapes are being indexed as sets of spatial tiles. In solr 1.5, I believe the correct implementation would be as a field type with the new subfielding capabilities. Do you have any thoughts about the approach I'm taking?
