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=\*](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. > Cheers, Ivan On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 5:21 PM, Ivan Brusic [ivan@brusic.com](mailto:ivan@brusic.com) wrote: > 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.

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. -- Ivan On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 11:45 AM, Shay Banon [kimchy@gmail.com](mailto:kimchy@gmail.com) wrote: > Yes, it was never supported. > > On Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 9:03 AM, Ivan Brusic wrote: > > Was not able to previously look at the issue on Github since it was > momentarily down.

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.
