Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-11746:
-------------------------------------
IMO it should count as a bug that numeric_field:* doesn't work.
The fact that it does work with trie fields may have originally been a fluke,
but I would have added it if it hadn't worked (didn't realize there were no
tests for it...)
> numeric fields need better error handling for prefix/wildcard syntax --
> consider uniform support for "foo:* == foo:[* TO *]"

> Key: SOLR-11746
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11746
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
> Reporter: Hoss Man
>
> On the solr-user mailing list, Torsten Krah pointed out that with Trie
> numeric fields, query syntax such as {{foo_d:\*}} has been functionality
> equivilent to {{foo_d:\[\* TO \*]}} and asked why this was not also supported
> for Point based numeric fields.
> The fact that this type of syntax works (for {{indexed="true"}} Trie fields)
> appears to have been an (untested, undocumented) fluke of Trie fields given
> that they use indexed terms for the (encoded) numeric terms and inherit the
> default implementation of {{FieldType.getPrefixQuery}} which produces a
> prefix query against the {{""}} (empty string) term.
> (Note that this syntax has aparently _*never*_ worked for Trie fields with
> {{indexed="false" docValues="true"}} )
> In general, we should assess the behavior users attempt a prefix/wildcard
> syntax query against numeric fields, as currently the behavior is largely
> non-sensical: prefix/wildcard syntax frequently match no docs w/o any sort
> of error, and the aformentioned {{numeric_field:*}} behaves inconsistently
> between points/trie fields and between indexed/docValued trie fields.
