input automaton is too large for lengthy wildcard query #11809
Description
Description
Hello, I have a very lengthy string to search with, basically
String term = "very-lengthy-text-contains-dots-and-dashes";
When I try to create a WildcardQuery like below, I get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: input automaton is too large: 1001
WildcardQuery query = new WildcardQuery(new Term("field", term + "*"));
exception looks like this
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: input automaton is too large: 1001

i know it's not a ordinal situation, however, I'm not sure why Automaton compilation needs to go that deep when there's no * or ? except the last one.
