A simple wrapper around Lucene's FST implementation in the spirit of the Rust FST command-line tool.

To build and run you need to have Java 8 and sbt installed.

The following should build and create a script wrapper under target/pack/bin.

sbt pack

For a full list of options run

./target/pack/bin/cli --help

If you have multiple versions of Java installed, export JAVA_HOME, e.g.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd6

Alternatively, you can run directly with:

java -cp target/pack/lib/\* prototypes.fst.cli --help

1. Build an FST from a CSV file:

   LC_ALL=C sort input.csv -o sorted.csv
   ./target/pack/bin/cli map --values --delimiter , sorted.csv out.fst

2. Build an FST from a file containing 1-grams to 5-grams encoded as ordinals in decimal, separated by spaces. The values will be the count of each entry:

   env LC_ALL=C sort -k1n -k2n -k3n -k4n -k5n input.ordinals -o sorted.ordinals
   ./target/pack/bin/cli map --format ints sorted.ordinals out.fst

3. Lookup up the count for an ordinal in our previous FST:

   ./target/pack/bin/cli get --format ints out.fst 42
