Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-5152:
--------------------------------------------
bq. how is getBytesReader related to the root arcs?
Well, anything that works with the FST APIs needs to call
getBytesReader first, e.g. MemoryPF does this every time you pull a
TermsEnum from it.
bq. This is a very trappy thing and we should catch any violation IMO very
quickly.
I agree it's trappy and it's great to add this check.
I'm simply proposing moving it to less of a hot-spot, and I don't
think this will affect how quickly we catch violations but should
reduce the cost of this added assertion.
In fact, I think findTargetArc isn't great in this regard; e.g. I
think MemoryPF only uses this API if the caller calls seekExact? So I
think the current location of the assert is both more costly and lower
coverage than if we moved it to FST.getBytesReader.

> a spinnoff from LUCENE-5120 where the analyzing suggester modified a returned
> output from and FST (BytesRef) which caused sideffects in later execution.
> I added an assertion into the FST that checks if a cached root arc is
> modified and in-fact this happens for instance in our MemoryPostingsFormat
> and I bet we find more places. We need to think about how to make this less
> trappy since it can cause bugs that are super hard to find.
