Houston Putman commented on SOLR-11746: --------------------------------------- I agree [~hossman]. If we are going to default to the {{getRangeQuery()}} for every possible entrypoint of a field wildcard, then the docValues check should be done in that method. Also every {{getRangeQuery()}} implementation should support this new optimization. So in order to help facilitate that, I refactored all overriding implementations of {{getRangeQuery()}} to {{getSpecializedRangeQuery()}}, which is called from {{FieldType.getRangeQuery()}} which does the check for an existence Queries. Any pieces of custom code that add new fields (and override {{getRangeQuery()}}) will not be broken by this, they will just not receive the new optimization. I would do the same thing for {{getPrefixQuery}}, but there are no other overriding methods than the one included in this patch. > 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 > Reporter: Chris M.
