Nick Knize commented on LUCENE-9981:
------------------------------------

bq. Even with no API break, I don't want these changes rushed in to meet some 
arbitrary 8.9 deadline, I'm really concerned about that.

+1 for letting this bake in main. Consumers of the API should handle the lack 
of auth separately from the fix. Many thanks to [~rmuir] and [~mikemccand] for 
the hard work on this.

> This is really sad, as {{getCommonSuffixBytesRef()}} is only supposed to be 
> an "up-front" optimization to make the actual subsequent terms-intensive part 
> of the query faster. But it makes the whole query run for nearly 5 minutes 
> before it does anything.
> So I definitely think we should improve {{getCommonSuffixBytesRef}} to be 
> more "best-effort". For example, it can reduce the lower bound to {{1000}} 
> and catch the exception like such:
> {code}
> try {
>    // this is slow, and just an opto anyway, so don't burn cycles on it for 
> some crazy worst-case.
>    // if we don't set this common suffix, the query will just run a bit 
> slower, that's all.
>    int limit = Math.min(1000, maxDeterminizedStates);
>    BytesRef suffix = Operations.getCommonSuffixBytesRef(binary, limit);
>    ... (setting commonSuffixRef)
> } catch (TooComplexTooDeterminizeException notWorthIt) {
>   commonSuffixRef = null;
> }
> {code}
> Another, maybe simpler option, is to just check that input state/transitions 
> accounts don't exceed some low limit N.
> Basically this opto is geared at stuff like leading wildcard query of "*foo". 
> By computing that the common suffix is "foo" we can spend less CPU in the 
> terms dictionary because we can first do a memcmp before having to run data 
> thru any finite state machine. It's really a microopt and we shouldn't be 
> spending whole seconds of cpu on it, ever.
> But I still don't quite understand how the current limits are giving the 
> behavior today, maybe there is a bigger issue and I don't want to shove 
> something under the rug.
