Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1606:
---------------------------------------

I like it, too, some thoughts:

- Maybe make AutomatonTermEnum public instead package private (if it maybe extended and of usage for own sub classes like a future FuzzyQuery to return a difference())
- The code in WildcardTermEnum is deprecated but still there and teherefor duplicated functionality. Maybe we could make this class subclass of AutomatonTermEnum, but it initializes to be a simple WildCard. The TermEnum has no longer a test (the deprecated one), so we maybe must add a test.

> 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.
