Description

"exists" queries ([* TO *]) on DateRange fields return 0 results regardless of docs in the index with values in that field.

The issue appears to be that the query is converted into a NormsFieldExistsQuery, even though DateRangeField uses omitNorms=true by default. Probably introduced by SOLR-11746's changes to these optimizable range queries.

I've attached a script to reproduce the issue (tested on Solr 8.6.2) and screenshots showing showing schema and query-parsing info for the reproduction.

• causes: SOLR-15333 Solr-demo in docker uses improper configuration for SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeFieldType
• is caused by: SOLR-11746 numeric fields need better error handling for prefix/wildcard syntax -- consider uniform support for "foo:* == foo:[* TO *]"
