Get Request does not allow "*" as a filter

Ivan · February 16, 2012, 1:21am

Tested in version 0.18.2

Attempts to do a Get request with all ("*") fields either via REST or
the Java API does not work. Wildcard fields do work with search
requests.

Requests are simple:

http://localhost:9200/my_index/my_type/1001?fields=*
OR
client.prepareGet().setIndex("my_index").setType("my_type").setId("1001").setFields("*")

Have not traced through all the code, but appears that the issue might
be in ShardGetService, where is tries to find the values for each
field.

Cheers,

Ivan

Was not able to previously look at the issue on Github since it was
momentarily down. The issue occurs in 0.19.2RC2 as well. Not a major
issue, just wanted to point it out.

Yes, it was never supported.

Got it. No wonder it was not working.

Not a big deal, was running some test code and was wondering why my
code was not returning fields.

Yea… . I can add support for it, but then it will get tricky to have for real time get (which fields to return in case its coming from the transaction log and we have the _source, not stored fields).

I had figured as much judging from the code in ShardGetService.
Support is not really needed for my purposes. I was running a few test
queries against an index with disabled source, which means I was only
able to see explicitly stated stored fields.
