Support like query

[asoqa]

es support wildcard query, something like this:

    private function buildLikeCondition($operator, $operands)
    {
        if (!isset($operands[0], $operands[1])) {
            throw new InvalidParamException("Operator '$operator' requires two operands.");
        }

        if( $operator == 'like') {
            $like_text = "*" . $operands[1] . "*";
            $query = ['wildcard' => [$operands[0]=>$like_text]];
        }
        return $query;
//         throw new NotSupportedException('like conditions are not supported by elasticsearch.');
    }

I know this is old issue - but is there mentioned somewhere why LIKE condition cannot be supported out of the box for column type keyword / text ?
Currently throws Exception.

I think it wasn't initially implemented. Efficient wildcard-fields were introduced fairly recently and before that wildcard queries were super-inefficient and even required a special option to be allowed.

@samdark Thank you, I wasn't sure, if I missed something.
