Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1606:
-------------------------------------
bq. Yeah I tried to do some of this in a very quick way if you look at the
tests... I generate some random wildcard/regexp queries (mainly to prevent bugs
from being introduced).
Yeah, I think the tests are pretty solid (from the briefs looks I've had thus
far) - this is mainly just a precaution - so that we are not surprised by a
more realistic corpus. And to have the opportunity to compare with the old
WildcardQuery - I'd rather not keep it around for tests - once we are confident
its the same (and I am at this point), I'm happy to see it fade into the night.
Replacing such a core piece though, I want to be absolutely sure everything is
on the level.
bq, they are definitely contrived but I think cover the bases for any unicode
problems.
Right - in terms of unit tests, I think you've done great based on what I've
seen. This is just throwing more variety at a larger more realistic corpus.
More of a one time deal than something that should be incorporated into the
tests. Ensures there are no surprises for me - since I didn't write any of this
code (and I'm not yet super familiar with it), it helps with my comfort level :)
bq. One problem is that none of this unicode stuff is ever a problem on trunk!
Yeah - I assumed not. But as I'm not that familiar with the automaton stuff
yet, I wanted to be sure there wasn't going to be any input that somehow
confused it. I realize that your familiarity level probably tells you thats not
possible - but mine puts me in the position of testing anyway - else I'll look
like a moron when I +1 this thing ;)
bq. If you save this test setup,
I'll save it for sure.

> 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.
