Description

field names starting with numbers aren't working properly in fl, specific example from original bug report related to dynamic field suffixes using a numeric prefix...

---

In solr 4.6, I used to select dynamic fields by exact match, e.g. the below query used to work with me:
fl=123_PART

But in solr 4.10.3, the above query doesn't work any more, so I am forced to use a wildcards, such as to be begin with match, e.g. the below query:
fl=*_PART

The above query works but returns all dynamic fields that end with "_PART", and that results in bad performance as our dynamic fields are stored.

Is there any way to be able to select a dynamic field exactly like in version 4.6?
