Thanks, that does seem good in theory. I can get the field from each of the
terms and add them to a Set to de-dupe.
However, in practice queries of the following nature seems to fail with an
UnsupportedOperationException:
field:a*
field:[a TO b]
Delving into the code a bit I see the following in the Query class
/**
* Expert: adds all terms occurring in this query to the terms set. Only
* works if this query is in its {...@link #rewrite rewritten} form.
*
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException if this query is not yet
rewritten
*/
public void extractTerms(Set<Term> terms) {
// needs to be implemented by query subclasses
throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
}
Does this imply that some concrete Query classes have not overridden this
method?
