Chris M. Hostetter commented on SOLR-11746:
-------------------------------------------

{quote}I believe that is the only backwards incompatibility that was introduced 
by the reverted patch.
{quote}
that was _my_ only backcompat concern: the redefining how NaN behaved in range 
queries (which has since been reverted)

I agree, fixing {{foo:*}} in point fields and docValues only trie fields to 
behave consistently is a bug fix – wasn't trying to suggest that fixing that 
bug was a backcompat problem.  my point about that old comment where i refered 
to the "current" (circa 2017) behaior of point fields is that the only one that 
seems to be tested in the current code/patches is the sinple  {{foo:*}} case 
being fixed to do something useful -- we should also make sure we have tests 
that hte other nonsensical input cases give informative (and consistent) errors.

> numeric fields need better error handling for prefix/wildcard syntax -- 
> consider uniform support for "foo:* == foo:[* TO *]"

> 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.
