Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5468:
-------------------------------------

I'm not sure it matters here, but do you handle the FST Builder returning
null for the built FST (when there was nothing added)? Just a common
gotchya...

Do you have any sense of how the lookup speed changed?
{quote}

Many dictionaries have either no prefixes or no suffixes: the code comment 
below this also answers your other question about NULL FST I think.
Admittedly its probably no faster now, but it can be faster if we make the 
Stemmer smarter when walking the possibilities in the word:
{code}
  // TODO: this is pretty stupid, considering how the stemming algorithm works
  // we can speed it up to be significantly faster!
  IntsRef lookupAffix(FST<IntsRef> fst, char word[], int offset, int length) {
    if (fst == null) {
      return null;
    }
{code}

Given the fact this thing takes sometimes 100MB per field and makes it nearly 
unusable, I made such larger changes a TODO for a separate issue?

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.5
>            Reporter: Maciej Lisiewski
>            Priority: Minor

>
> Hunspell stemmer requires gigantic (for the task) amounts of memory to load 
> dictionary/rules files. 
> For example loading a 4.5 MB polish dictionary (with empty index!) will cause 
> whole core to crash with various out of memory errors unless you set max heap 
> size close to 2GB or more.
> By comparison Stempel using the same dictionary file works just fine with 1/8 
> of that (and possibly lower values as well).
> Sample error log entries:
