This package is about SpatialPrefixTree and any supporting classes.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Cell	Represents a grid cell.
NumberRangePrefixTree.NRShape	Base interface for Shapes this prefix tree supports.
NumberRangePrefixTree.UnitNRShape	A unit value Shape implemented as a stack of numbers, one for each level in the prefix tree.

Class Summary

Class	Description
CellIterator	An Iterator of SpatialPrefixTree Cells.
DateRangePrefixTree	A PrefixTree for date ranges in which the levels of the tree occur at natural periods of time (e.g.
GeohashPrefixTree	A SpatialPrefixTree based on Geohashes.
GeohashPrefixTree.Factory	Factory for creating GeohashPrefixTree instances with useful defaults
LegacyCell	The base for the original two SPT's: Geohash and Quad.
NumberRangePrefixTree	A SpatialPrefixTree for single-dimensional numbers and number ranges of fixed precision values (not floating point).
PackedQuadPrefixTree	Uses a compact binary representation of 8 bytes to encode a spatial quad trie.
PackedQuadPrefixTree.Factory	Factory for creating PackedQuadPrefixTree instances with useful defaults.
QuadPrefixTree	A SpatialPrefixTree which uses a quad tree in which an indexed term will be generated for each cell, 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'.
QuadPrefixTree.Factory	Factory for creating QuadPrefixTree instances with useful defaults
SpatialPrefixTree	A spatial Prefix Tree, or Trie, which decomposes shapes into prefixed strings at variable lengths corresponding to variable precision.
SpatialPrefixTreeFactory	Abstract Factory for creating SpatialPrefixTree instances with useful defaults and passed on configurations defined in a Map.

Package org.apache.lucene.spatial.prefix.tree Description

This package is about SpatialPrefixTree and any supporting classes. A SpatialPrefixTree supports spatial indexing by index-time tokens where adding characters to a string gives greater resolution.
