By the way Mark, in case you are interested, the TermEnum here still has
problems with 'kleene star' as I have mentioned many times.
So wildcard of ?abacadaba is fast, wildcard of *abacadaba is still slow
in the same manner, regex of .abacadaba is fast, wildcard of .*abacadaba is
still slow.

No problem in my mind - nothing the current WildcardQuery doesn't face. Any
reason we wouldn't want to replace the current WCQ that with this?
{quote}
but there are algorithms to reverse an entire dfa, so you could use
ReverseStringFilter and support wildcards AND regexps with leading *
I didnt implement this here though yet.

Now that sounds interesting - now sure I fully understand you though - are you
saying we can do a prefix match, but without having to index terms reversed in
the index? That would be very cool.

> 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
> Assignee: Robert Muir
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1
>
> Attachments: automaton.patch, automatonMultiQuery.patch,
> automatonmultiqueryfuzzy.patch, automatonMultiQuerySmart.patch,
> automatonWithWildCard.patch, automatonWithWildCard2.patch, LUCENE-1606.patch,
> LUCENE-1606.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.
