Dawid Weiss commented on SOLR-2378:
-----------------------------------

The build time needs to sort the input again (and create it in the first 
place). Because Lookup API assumes suggestion keywords can come from a variety 
of sources there is no guarantee they will be sorted, so we need to sort them 
before we can build the automaton. 

Still, I think the numbers are acceptable... if you need on-line construction 
of these suggestions you'll pick TST (it can add new keywords to the structure 
dynamically); for a batch-load suggester you'd pick the FST one.

It is also very likely that I overlooked something that could bring those 
numbers down, I'll create a clean patch tomorrow, so everything will be out 
there for improving.

>
> Implement a subclass of Lookup based on finite state automata/ transducers 
> (Lucene FST package). This issue is for implementing a relatively basic 
> prefix matcher, we will handle infixes and other types of input matches 
> gradually. Impl. phases:
> - write a DFA based suggester effectively identical to ternary tree based 
> solution right now,
> - baseline benchmark against tern. tree (memory consumption, rebuilding 
> speed, indexing speed; reuse Andrzej's benchmark code)
> - modify DFA to encode term weights directly in the automaton (optimize for 
> onlyMostPopular case)
> - benchmark again
> - add infix suggestion support with prefix matches boosted higher (?)
> - benchmark again
> - modify the tutorial on the wiki [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester]
