LUCENE-8219: Do a better job of estimating automaton array sizes up front, to
save on reallocation. Committed on behalf of Christian Ziech.
> LevenshteinAutomata should estimate the number of states and transitions

> Key: LUCENE-8219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8219
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Christian Ziech
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the toAutomaton() method of the LevenshteinAutomata class uses the
> default constructor of the Automaton although it exactly knows how many
> states the automaton will have and can do a reasonable estimation on how many
> transitions it will need as well.
> I suggest changing the lines
> {code:language=java|firstline=154|linenumbers=true}
> // the number of states is based on the length of the word and n
> int numStates = description.size();
> Automaton a = new Automaton();
> int lastState;
> {code}
> to
> {code:language=java|firstline=154|linenumbers=true}
> // the number of states is based on the length of the word and n
> final int numStates = description.size();
> final int numTransitions = numStates * Math.min(1 + 2 * n, alphabet.length);
> final int prefixStates = prefix != null ? prefix.codePointCount(0,
> prefix.length()) : 0;
> final Automaton a = new Automaton(numStates + prefixStates, numTransitions);
> int lastState;
> {code}
> For my test data this cut down on the total amount of memory needed for int
> arrays by factor 4. The estimation of "1 + 2 * editDistance" should maybe
> rather be replaced by a value coming from the ParametricDescription used.
