Hmmm... then i'm kind of at a loss to explain what you're describing. need to see more details of the configs, dir structure, jar structure, etc... : The spatial feature looks intriguing, although I have no idea if it : could fit my use case. It looks fairly complex a concept, but maybe it : is all the different shapes and geometry that is confusing me. If I : thought of my problem in terms of geometry, I would say a chromosome : region is like a segment of a line. I would need to define multiple line : segments and be able to query by a single point and only return : documents that have a line segment that the single point falls on. Does : that make sense? Is that at all doable with a spatial query? The tricky thing about leveraging the spatial stuff for this type of problem is that it's frequently better to *not* let yourself think in terms of the a straightforward mapping between your problem space and geometry. Instead of modeling your data as documents containing multiple line segments and trying to search for a document containing a line segment that contains your 1D point, imagine modeling your data as documents containing multiple 2D points, one point per "range", where the X coordinate is the lower bound of your range, and the Y axis is the upper bound of the range... https://people.apache.org/~hossman/spatial-for-non-spatial-meetup-20130117/#slide8 ...and to find all documents containing a range that contains a specified input value V, you then query for all documents containing points inside of a specially crafted bounding box based on V... https://people.apache.org/~hossman/spatial-for-non-spatial-meetup-20130117/#slide11 ..the big caveat to this approach that i failed to mention before is that it presumes there is an absolute min/max definable for the overall range of values you are dealing with so that you can define the bounding boxes appropriates -- otherwise the geometery won't work. In anycase .. it's an interesting idea i wanted to through out there for you to consider i case it worked for you before you jumped through a tone of hoops trying to get a new custom FieldType to work. -Hoss
