Tolerate geo coverage given in kms

I have an issue to reharvest a couple of CORDEX catalogs while adding
the Globus URLs. I believe the reason is again Solr's geo field. Those
datasets use km rather than degrees for the coverage, e.g.
In the Solr document it seems to be possible to to use either kilometers or
degrees
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Spatial+Search). Would
it be possible to allow both for ESGF?
The complete geo-coverage must be given to Solr in the form of a WKT envelope, for example:
ENVELOPE(-74.093, -69.347, 44.558, 41.042)
I could not find any reference where the ENVELOPE is expressed in km. Therefore, for now what we are going to do is simply avoid storing any geo-information is the coverage is given in km.
