Steve Rowe commented on LUCENE-5897:
------------------------------------
bq. So more generally, can we optimize the general case to also remove what
appears to be a backtracking algo? I know jflex is more general than what ICU
offers, so its like comparing apples and oranges, but i can't help but wonder...
Sorry, I don't know enough about how the automaton is constructed and run to
know if this is possible.
> performance bug ("adversary") in StandardTokenizer
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-5897
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5897
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
>
> There seem to be some conditions (I don't know how rare or what conditions)
> that cause StandardTokenizer to essentially hang on input: I havent looked
> hard yet, but as its essentially a DFA I think something wierd might be going
> on.
> An easy way to reproduce is with 1MB of underscores, it will just hang
> forever.
> {code}
> public void testWorthyAdversary() throws Exception {
> char buffer[] = new char[1024 * 1024];
> Arrays.fill(buffer, '_');
> int tokenCount = 0;
> Tokenizer ts = new StandardTokenizer();
> ts.setReader(new StringReader(new String(buffer)));
> ts.reset();
> while (ts.incrementToken()) {
> tokenCount++;
> }
> ts.end();
> ts.close();
> assertEquals(0, tokenCount);
> }
> {code}
