Description

LUCENE-6450 proposes a simple GeoPointField type to lucene core. This field uses 64bit encoding of 2 dimensional points to construct sorted term representations of GeoPoints (aka: GeoHashing).

This feature investigates adding support for encoding 3 dimensional GeoPoints, either by extending GeoPointField to a Geo3DPointField or adding an additional 3d constructor.
