Alan Woodward commented on SOLR-14428:
--------------------------------------
There's some prior art on this one:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8855
> Or maybe we just accept that sometimes, queries can be big
I think we have to go with this, really - for example, TermInSetQuery can get
very big. FuzzyQuery is probably particularly prone to this because it builds
multiple Levenshtein Automata, which are sizeable in and of themselves. We've
generally dealt with this in the past by saying that large queries shouldn't be
cacheable, but I think that's the wrong trade-off in this situation - as a
heavy query that can take a lot of resources to compute, FuzzyQuery is a really
good candidate for caching. I like the idea of having a separate cache key for
large queries; we can have a default implementation on Query that just returns
`this`, and then heavy queries can have a specialised class that they return.

> I'm moving from 8.3.1 to 8.5.1, and started getting Out Of Memory Errors

> LUCENE-9068 moved construction of the automata from the FuzzyTermsEnum to the
> FuzzyQuery's constructor.

> FIELD_NAME + ":" + UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-", "") + "~2"

> When running against a vanilla Solr 8.31 and 8.4.1 there is no problem, while
> the memory usage has increased drastically on 8.5.0 and 8.5.1.
> Comparison of heap usage while running the attached test against Solr 8.3.1

> I'm guessing that the memory might be being leaked if the FuzzyQuery objects

> Query Result Cache on 8.5.1:

> With an empty cache, running this query

> 8.5.1: CACHE.searcher.queryResultCache.ramBytesUsed: 648855

> ~1 gives 98253 and ~0 gives 6339 on 8.5.1. 8.3.1 is constant at 1520
