Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-4516:
-----------------------------------------

I agree with robert that this is maybe tailored. In general I think with the 
ideas in LUCENE-4491 we can make a good step forward to this and maybe enable 
it in a specialized suggester.

> As a user, I'd like to associate a “foreign key” with a string (rather: final 
> node) in the suggester index (in addition to the rank). For example, I’d like 
> to add “Lucene in Action” with key 1933988177 (the ISBN) and some rank to a 
> WFST or AnalyzingSuggester. A completion would return the completed string 
> and the key associated with each entry (i.e. final nodes get a “key” field 
> (int), which is returned in the LookupResult). That foreign key could also be 
> used for fast de-duping (no more string/byte array comparisons).
> There may be workarounds for the “foreign key” use case –it seems that lots 
> of data structures would be affected by storing a user-provided key with 
> final nodes, which therefore may not be a viable path. It may be possible to 
> encode the foreign key in the transducer’s output instead.
> *Discussion on java-user@lucene:*
> Mike McCandless: 
> This is maybe the same idea as
> LUCENE-4491 ?  Could you simply stuff your ISBN onto the end of the 
> suggestion (ie enroll Lucene in
> Action|1933988177)?
> Dawid Weiss:
> Just remember that if your suffixes are unique then you'll be expanding the 
> automaton quite a bit (unique suffix paths).
> D.
> Mike:
> That's a good point... encoding into the FST's output may be better.
