Hello list,

Whenever I make a query for ** (two consecutive wildcards) it causes my
Solr to run out of memory.

http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=**

Why is that?

I realize that this is not a reasonable query to make, but the system
supports input from users, and they might by accident input this query,
causing Solr to crash.

I should add that we use the complexphrase query parser as the default
parser on a Solr 7.1.

Can anyone repro this or explain what causes the problem?

Thanks in advance,
