Walter Underwood commented on LUCENE-4024:
------------------------------------------
I'm not sure that the floating point spec should be deprecated. I'd like to
have the option of distance 1 for short terms and distance 2 for longer ones.
Distance two is necessary to handle transpositions, but gets a very broad match
from short terms. Doing that through the float spec might be clumsy, but it
would work.
> FuzzyQuery should never do edit distance > 2

> Edit distance 1 and 2 are now very very fast compared to 3.x (100X-200X
> faster) ... but edit distance 3 will fallback to the super-slow scan all
> terms in 3.x, which is not graceful degradation.
> Not sure how to fix it ... mabye we have a SlowFuzzyQuery? And FuzzyQuery
> throws exc if you try to ask it to be slow? Or, we add boolean (off by
> default) that you must turn on to allow slow one..?
