Lucene devs, We are hitting performance problems when our customers issue pathological wildcard queries. Searching the Lucene JIRA I came across these two work items and unfortunately it seems like there's no easy way out. However, in LUCENE-6672 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6672> David Causse has a couple of proposed solutions. I was wondering if either of those or something similar were integrated into the code-base down the line?
If not, would the community be interested in a pull request if/when we fix this in our fork and bake it in production for a while? TIA, Irfan.
