Wildcard queries don't seem to be working for PointValues in Lucene 6.0 . For example, "new WildcardQuery(new Term(some_LongPoint_field_name, "*")" does not find anything. A similar query worked fine with LongFields though.
While PointValues javadocs say "are indexed differently than ordinary text" they (or https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_0_0/MIGRATE.html) do not mention wildcard queries at all. Judging from the LongPoint.newXXXQuery API, a wild card query would be created the same way if it were supported. So does it mean that there can be no wildcard queries on PointValues fields? If so, is it a fundamental limitation or something is going to be done about it in later versions? It took LUCENE-7223 to explain that to store values one should create a twin StoredField for every PointValues field. Could something be missing in the documentation about wildcard queries as well? Thank you
