I'll be focusing time this weekend on new releases and bugs, so I should be able to take a look at this then.

[jcsims]

@ppadovani were you able to look into this? I'm trying to make some time this week to look into this bug.

[ppadovani]

Sorry, the port to 6.3 has taken more time than initially thought due to some of the re-org of the Kibana code... I should have 6.3 wrapped up this weekend.

If you would like to look into this and submit a pull request that would be fantastic. If not, I don't see any reason why I can't knock this out this weekend as well.

I took a quick look at this in the 6.3 release I'm working on, and it seems to be working fine. I can use this query against my test data without an issue: cars.color~="*".

If you don't submit a pull request before this weekend, I should be able to look at this at your specific release level.

[ppadovani]

Looks like a bug in the parser:

{"nested":{"path":"cars","query":{"bool":{"filter":{"wildcard":{"cars.color":"a"}}{"match_phrase":{"cars.color":"a"}}}}}}

Both a filter and match_phrase but without a separating comma... not sure the match_phrase should be there... this may have been introduced by a back port of a previous fix. This shouldn't take long to resolve.

[ppadovani]

Fixed and released.

[ppadovani]

Ooops... I want to leave this open to verify other releases and/or fix them if I propagated this bug.

[jcsims]

Thanks, will try to get this verified on my end today.
