Hi Alex,

I too have been wondering about it.  I'm working on adding spatial =
support to Solr and find the contrib/spatial in Lucene is a good start, =
but it needs a lot of clean up.  I'm further flummoxed by it's addition =
to 2.9 since any changes at this point to it would be on 3.1, which =
would then require Solr to upgrade to 3.1 which is a lot of effort.  My =
take is there are a lot of useful nuggets in there, but the overall =
packaging/public APIs need some work.  I know some others are interested =
in cleaning it up, so if you want to pitch in, that would be great.

If you're interested in what Solr is doing, see =
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-773, as I think you will see =
a lot of the changes filter back into Lucene once Solr is on 3.x.
