---------------------------------------------

             Summary: Text Predicates fail if they encounter non strings
                 Key: TINKERPOP-2375
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2375
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: process
    Affects Versions: 3.4.6
         Environment: MacOS + TinkerPop 3.4.6 , Gremlin Console, TinkerGraph
            Reporter: Kelvin R. Lawrence


This issue comes from investigating the report on Stack Overflow here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62013568/how-to-do-gremlin-contain-search-for-both-number-and-string]

It was reported against Neptune but I see the same behavior with TinkerGraph. As best I can tell the poster has overloaded a property key so that it is sometimes a float and sometimes a string. There is no error if the number matches exactly but if it does not and the TextP part of the {{or}} step triggers then an exception is thrown as {{TextP.containing}} tries to work against a float value. I guess the question is, should the text predicates be smart enough to ignore non String property values? 

Here is a simple reproducer
gremlin> graph = TinkerGraph.open()
==>tinkergraph[vertices:0 edges:0]
gremlin> g = graph.traversal()
==>graphtraversalsource[tinkergraph[vertices:0 edges:0], standard]
gremlin> g.addV('test').property('x',12.5)
==>v[0]
gremlin> g.addV('test').property('x','ABCDEF')
==>v[2]
gremlin> g.V().hasLabel('test').or(has('x',12.3),has('x',TextP.containing('CDE')))
java.math.BigDecimal cannot be cast to java.lang.String
Type ':help' or ':h' for help.
