Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-3714:
-------------------------------------
No, no, Mike -- I'm all for going with exact, fine scores. That way even if
WFSTCompletionLookup is slower it's still a real-life use case and
FSTCompletionLookup (even if faster) will have a (*) saying it's not a complete
solution.
I like what Robert did (still didn't look at the patch), but I was just
wondering why the hell difference for long prefixes. This is not a frequent
case in real-life, just curiosity.
> add suggester that uses shortest path/wFST instead of buckets

> Currently the FST suggester (really an FSA) quantizes weights into buckets
> (e.g. single byte) and puts them in front of the word.
> This makes it fast, but you lose granularity in your suggestions.
> Lately the question was raised, if you build lucene's FST with
> positiveintoutputs, does it behave the same as a tropical semiring wFST?
> In other words, after completing the word, we instead traverse min(output) at
> each node to find the 'shortest path' to the
> best suggestion (with the highest score).
> This means we wouldnt need to quantize weights at all and it might make some
> operations (e.g. adding fuzzy matching etc) a lot easier.
