When evaluating a
terms
query against the_index
field, simple wildcard patterns are accepted: https://gist.github.com/jtibshirani/7992dc355b677e8537c333616d3c0270This is not a huge problem because index names can't contain asterisks, but I think it's confusing and not consistent with the normal behavior of
terms
queries. It would be good to consider deprecating + removing this ability. We supportwildcard
queries on the_index
field, so the behavior could be changed without a regression in functionality.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
