Hi, I've been reading up a lot on what David has written about GeoHash fields and would like to use them.
I'm trying to create a nice way to display cluster counts of geo points on a google map. It's naturally not going to be possible to send 40k marker information over the wire to cluster... so figured GeoHash would be perfect. I'm running Solr 4.5. I've seen this.. https://github.com/dsmiley/SOLR-2155 Would this be what I use? It looks like it's really old, and I noticed that there is now a "solr.GeoHash" core field... However, if I check the documentation at this page https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpatialSearchDev Solr includes a the field type "solr.GeoHashField" but it unfortunately > doesn't realize any of the intrinsic properties of the geohash to its > advantage. *You shouldn't use it.* Instead, check out > http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpatialSearch#SOLR-2155. The main feature is > multi-valued field support. Does this mean that there isn't any way to use GeoHash with my version of Solr? Should I just implement a multi value field andadd all of the multi value fields myself? (Also, can you confirm that for doing clustering, I'm on the right track for using GeoHash. I don't need anything perfect. I just want to be able to break up the markers into groups). Thanks
