[jira] Commented: (SOLR-1982) Leading wildcard queries work for "all" fields if ReversedWildcardFilterFactory is used for "any" field

["Hoss Man (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1982?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12884847#action_12884847 ] 

Hoss Man commented on SOLR-1982:
--------------------------------

The behavior comes from the fact that during initialization, SolrQueryParser.checkAllowLeadingWildcards calls setAllowLeadingWildcard(true); if any field type uses ReversedWildcardFilterFactory.

Then in getWildcardQuery, it the specific field type before calling ReverseStringFilter.reverse, but then, regardless of field type, delegates to super.getWildcardQuery which will allow the leading wildcard for *all* fields based on the previous call to setAllowLeadingWildcard(true).

I'm not really sure what the intention was for fields that don't use ReversedWildcardFilterFactory, but the current behavior makes no sense at all.  Either leading wildcards should *only* be allowed for fieldtypes that use ReversedWildcardFilterFactory, or the QParser should have a config option to control it for other fields -- but as it stands it makes no sense what so ever.

> ...SolrQueryParse supports leading wild card queries for *any* field as long as at least one field type exists in the schema.xml which uses ReversedWildcardFilterFactory -- even if that field type is never used.
> This is extremely confusing, and ost likely indicates a bug in how SolrQueryParser deals with ReversedWildcardFilterFactory
