Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1606:
---------------------------------------
Did he changed the FilteredTermEnum.next() loops? if yes, maybe the better
approach also works for NRQ. I am just interested, but had no time to
thoroughly look into the latest changes.

> 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.
