Hello, I am trying to run a very simple query using the High Level Client for Java version 6.8.23 The query is like the following: ```auto { "query": { "wildcard": { "OBJECTINFO.NAME": { "wildcard": "test*", "boost": 1.0 } } } } ``` It fails with the following error: ```auto [17/05/22 11:06:34.265] ERROR ElasticSearchSearcherImplementation.meth03_eomjse1: @T:192 ExecuteQuery fail

I am using a RANGE in my query: ```auto Encountered \" \"}\" \"} \"\" at line 1, column 23.\nW as expecting:\n \"TO\" ...\n "}},"status":400} ``` Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks very much Giuseppe ---
