Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-1606:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-1606-flex.patch

First cut @ cutting over to flex API attached -- note that this
applies to the flex branch, not trunk!

I made some small changes to the benchmarker: use constant score
filter mode, and print the min (not avg) time (less noise).

Also, I ported the AutomatonTermEnum to the flex API, so this is now a
better measure ("flex on flex") of what future perf will be.  It's
possible there's a bug here, though TestWildcard passes.

I still need to investigate why "non-flex on non-flex" and "non-flex
on flex" perform worse.

I ran like this:

  java -server -Xmx1g -Xms1g BenchWildcard

java is 1.6.0_14 64 bit, on OpenSolaris.

Results (msec is min of 10 runs each);

||Pattern||ITrunk (min msec)||(Flex (min msec)||
|N?N?N?N0.0|13|18|
|?NNNNNN|1|3|
|??NNNNN|4|6|
|???NNNN|23|28|
|????NNN|210|170|
|NN??NNN|3|3|
|NN?N*|7|4|
|?NN*|62|30|
|*N|4332|2576|
|NNNNN??|1|1|

Looks like flex API is faster for the slow queries.  Once I fix caching on 
trunk we should retest...

> Attached is a patch for an AutomatonQuery/Filter (name can change if its not 
> suitable).
> Whereas the out-of-box contrib RegexQuery is nice, I have some very large 
> indexes (100M+ unique tokens) where queries are quite slow, 2 minutes, etc. 
> Additionally all of the existing RegexQuery implementations in Lucene are 
> really slow if there is no constant prefix. This implementation does not 
> depend upon constant prefix, and runs the same query in 640ms.
> Some use cases I envision:
>  1. lexicography/etc on large text corpora
>  2. looking for things such as urls where the prefix is not constant (http:// 
> or ftp://)
> The Filter uses the BRICS package (http://www.brics.dk/automaton/) to convert 
> regular expressions into a DFA. Then, the filter "enumerates" terms in a 
> special way, by using the underlying state machine. Here is my short 
> description from the comments:
>      The algorithm here is pretty basic. Enumerate terms but instead of a 
> binary accept/reject do:
>       
>      1. Look at the portion that is OK (did not enter a reject state in the 
> DFA)
>      2. Generate the next possible String and seek to that.
> the Query simply wraps the filter with ConstantScoreQuery.
> I did not include the automaton.jar inside the patch but it can be downloaded 
> from http://www.brics.dk/automaton/ and is BSD-licensed.
