Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1606:
---------------------------------------
It will work, that was what I said. For MultiTermQuery, it must *not* be
ordered, the ordering is irrelevant for it, MultTermQuery only enumerates the
terms. TrieRange is an example of that, the order of terms is not for sure
ordered correctly (it is at the moment because of the internal implementation
of splitLongRange(), but I tested it with the inverse order and it still
worked). If you want to use the enum for something other, it will fail.
The filters inside MultiTermQuery and the BooleanQuery do not need to have the
terms ordered.
> Automaton Query/Filter (scalable regex)

>
> Key: LUCENE-1606
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1606
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/*
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9
>
> Attachments: automaton.patch, automatonWithWildCard.patch,
> automatonWithWildCard2.patch
>
>
> Attached is a patch for an AutomatonQuery/Filter (name can change if its not
> suitable).
> Whereas the out-of-box contrib RegexQuery is nice, I have some very large
> indexes (100M+ unique tokens) where queries are quite slow, 2 minutes, etc.
> Additionally all of the existing RegexQuery implementations in Lucene are
> really slow if there is no constant prefix. This implementation does not
> depend upon constant prefix, and runs the same query in 640ms.
> Some use cases I envision:
> 1. lexicography/etc on large text corpora
> 2. looking for things such as urls where the prefix is not constant (http://
> or ftp://)
> The Filter uses the BRICS package (http://www.brics.dk/automaton/) to convert
> regular expressions into a DFA. Then, the filter "enumerates" terms in a
> special way, by using the underlying state machine. Here is my short
> description from the comments:
> The algorithm here is pretty basic. Enumerate terms but instead of a
> binary accept/reject do:
>
> 1. Look at the portion that is OK (did not enter a reject state in the
> DFA)
> 2. Generate the next possible String and seek to that.
> the Query simply wraps the filter with ConstantScoreQuery.
> I did not include the automaton.jar inside the patch but it can be downloaded
> from http://www.brics.dk/automaton/ and is BSD-licensed.
