Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-3297:
---------------------------------------
Component/s: core/FSTs
> FST doesn't fully share common prefix across all outputs
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-3297
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3297
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/FSTs
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
>
> FST will try to share prefixes of outputs when possible, however in the [I
> think unusual in practice] case where all outputs share a common prefix, FST
> really ought to store this just once, on the root arc, but instead it's only
> able to push back to the N root arcs. It's sort of an off-by-one on how far
> back the pushing goes...
> One [synthetic] example where this makes a big difference is the new
> Test2BPostings test, when it uses MemoryCodec, because this test has 26 terms
> (letters of alphabet) and each term has exactly the same long (~85 MB) all 1s
> byte[] as the postings. If we fixed this issue, then the resulting FST would
> only be ~85 MB but now instead it needs to be ~85 * 26 MB.
