Annotation Type Spatial

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={METHOD,FIELD,TYPE})
@Documented
public @interface Spatial

Defines a spatial property. Spatial coordinates can be indexed as latitude / longitude fields and queried via range queries. This is known as the SpatialMode.RANGE approach. Otherwise, they can be indexed using a spatial hash index. This is known as the SpatialMode.HASH approach. The size of the grid can be adjusted with topSpatialHashLevel and bottomSpatialHashLevel. For more information on which model to use, read the Hibernate Search reference documentation. If your longitude and latitude information are hosted on free properties, Add @Spatial on the entity (class-level). The Latitude and Longitude annotations must mark the properties.

 @Entity
 @Spatial(name="home")
 public class User {
     @Latitude(of="home")
     public Double getHomeLatitude() { ... }
     @Longitude(of="home")
     public Double getHomeLongitude() { ... }
 }
 

Alternatively, you can put the latitude / longitude information in a property of type Coordinates.

 @Entity
 public class User {
     @Spatial
     public Coordinates getHome() { ... }
 }

Default:

org.hibernate.search.annotations.Store.NO

boost

public abstract Boost boost

Returns:

Returns a Boost annotation defining a float index time boost value

Default:

@org.hibernate.search.annotations.Boost(1.0f)

spatialMode

public abstract SpatialMode spatialMode

Returns:

the mode used for Spatial indexing

Default:

org.hibernate.search.annotations.SpatialMode.RANGE

topSpatialHashLevel

public abstract int topSpatialHashLevel

Returns:

top range spatial hash level for spatial indexing

Default:

0

bottomSpatialHashLevel

public abstract int bottomSpatialHashLevel

Returns:

bottom spatial hash level for spatial indexing

Default:

16
