Carlos González-Cadenas commented on LUCENE-3298:
-------------------------------------------------
Dawid, I wanted to let you know that we've reached the 2GB barrier.
We're using a heavily modified version of FSTLookup to create an autocomplete
system over 2.3 billion queries (and growing, it will be more than 10-15B when
we add the data for infix matches).
In order to circumvent the 2.1GB limitation, we changed the code so that every
bucket uses a different FST (as per Robert Muir's recommendation), but still
we're having problems in the individual buckets because our dataset is huge.
We'll give a try to this patch and will let you know.
Thanks
Carlos

> The FST uses a single contiguous byte[] under the hood, which in java is
> indexed by int so we cannot grow this over Integer.MAX_VALUE. It also
> internally encodes references to this array as vInt.
> We could switch this to a paged byte[] and make the far larger.
> But I think this is low priority... I'm not going to work on it any time soon.
