-------------------------------------

Hi Uwe,


Thanks for the analysis! I spent only few days on this basic PoC.

I need to use IndexReader (index version number and etc.) also to rewarm a 
cache; if term disappeared from index we can still leave it in BKTree (not a 
problem; can't remove!), and if we have new term we need simply call 
{code}public void add(E term){code}

Synchronization should be significantly improved...

Cache warming takes 10-15 seconds in my environment, about 250k tokens, and I 
use TreeSet internally for fast lookup. I also believe that main performance 
issue is related to Levenstein algo (which is significantly improved in trunk; 
plus synchronization is removed from FuzzySearch: LUCENE-2258)

Regarding memory requirements: BKTree is not heavy... I should use 
{code}StringHelper.intern(fld);{code}
- it's already in memory... and FuzzyTermEnum uses almost same amount of memory 
for processing as BKTree. I'll check FieldCache.

BKTree-approach can be significantly improved.

>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 3.0
>         Environment: Lucene currently uses brute force full-terms scanner and 
> calculates distance for each term. New BKTree structure improves performance 
> in average 20 times when distance is 1, and 3 times when distance is 3. I 
> tested with index size several millions docs, and 250,000 terms. 
> New algo uses integer distances between objects.
