Description

Currently the tessellator is tightly coupled with latitude and longitude (WGS84) geospatial coordinates. This issue will explore generalizing the tessellator, LatLonShape field and LatLonShapeQuery to non geospatial (cartesian) coordinate systems so lucene can provide the index & search capability for general geometry / non GIS type use cases.
