## org.apache.lucene.util.fst
Class ListOfOutputs<T>

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.util.fst.Outputs<Object>
          org.apache.lucene.util.fst.ListOfOutputs<T>

    public final class ListOfOutputs<T>

extends Outputs<Object>

Wraps another Outputs implementation and encodes one or more of its output values. You can use this when a single input may need to map to more than one output, maintaining order: pass the same input with a different output by calling `Builder.add(IntsRef,Object)` multiple times. The builder will then combine the outputs using the `Outputs.merge(Object,Object)` method.

The resulting FST may not be minimal when an input has more than one output, as this requires pushing all multi-output values to a final state.

NOTE: this cannot wrap itself (ie you cannot make an FST with List<List<Object>> outputs using this).

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
