[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-5116) Rewrite field:* as if field:[* TO *] so field type can optimize

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5116?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13729577#comment-13729577 ] 

Jack Krupansky commented on SOLR-5116:
--------------------------------------

Is that really going to be faster that doing the filter query that was discussed?

And... supposedly the filter query was going to be faster for the negative form, -field:*, at least that's what Uwe originally led me to believe.

> The queries {{field:*}} and {{field:[* TO *]}} are semantically equivalent but the latter is potentially must faster since the field type can intercept it to return a more optimal implementation than a brute force scan of the terms.  The trie numeric fields do this.  The spatial ones don't but they could be rewritten easily to do so.
