String :

Answer 1

-_exists_:field_one works for me in ElasticSearch 6.0

reference: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#_field_names

Answer 2

*:* -MY_FIELD_NAME:[* TO "zzzzzzzzzz"]

You can add more "z" chars to ensure to include any value of the field.

Answer 3

*:*  -MY_FIELD_NAME:[* TO *] 

The above should do it, note the * : * for Lucene.
