Scripts accessing wildcard fields currently get ByteRefs instead of Strings which would be more useful and compatible with
keyword
fields. This PR addresses that.We have existing tests that check that
binary
fields return ByteRefs so we have to preserve that behaviour for non-wildcard
fields.Existing BytesBinaryDVLeafFieldData assumes ByteRefs are required in scripts so I pulled most of its existing logic up into a common abstract class and created a new subclass with the required override to provide String-based return type. All other changes stem from that refactoring.
I wasn't too comfortable about the naming of new classes - "StringBinaryDV" seems like a contradiction but "WildcardBinaryDv" seems clumsy too (saying more about how we want to search than the data type).
Closes #58044
