Haoyu Zhai commented on LUCENE-9983:
------------------------------------
+1 to have a set of regexps so that we can benchmark them, I'm also a little
worried the PR might make the normal cases worse too.
[~broustant] That is a good idea, I've tried to use a 128 size array as a map
for first 128 states and it doesn't help the adversarial cases (I also pulled
out some stats and found in adversarial cases states are actually much more
than that number). But I think we might see some benefits from the normal cases
once we have benchmark set up.

> Spinoff from LUCENE-9981.
> Today, our {{Operations.determinize}} implementation builds powersets of all
> subsets of NFA states that "belong" in the same determinized state, using
> [this algorithm|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerset_construction].
> To hold each powerset, we use a malleable {{SortedIntSet}} and periodically
> freeze it to a {{FrozenIntSet}}, also sorted. We pay a high price to keep
> these growing maps of int key, int value sorted by key, e.g. upgrading to a
> {{TreeMap}} once the map is large enough (> 30 entries).
> But I think sorting is entirely unnecessary here! Really all we need is the
> ability to add/delete keys from the map, and hashCode / equals (by key only –
> ignoring value!), and to freeze the map (a small optimization that we could
> skip initially). We only use these maps to lookup in the (growing)
> determinized automaton whether this powerset has already been seen.
> Maybe we could simply poach the {{IntIntScatterMap}} implementation from
> [HPPC|https://github.com/carrotsearch/hppc]? And then change its
> {{hashCode}}/{{equals }}to only use keys (not values).
> This change should be a big speedup for the kinds of (admittedly adversarial)
> regexps we saw on LUCENE-9981.
