GEOMESA-226 Compute minimum geodetic distances between two geometries

Rather than doing these trig computations, what would be the impact of pre-computing a grid of (lat, lon) -> (meters N/S of the equator, meters E/W of the prime meridian), and then doing linear interpolation?  IIRC, this is similar to what game developers (used to?) do in pre-computing trig tables.  We would have to see how much accuracy we give up that way, but even a 100x100 grid ought to be tractable.  Just a thought.
