"$**" wildcard specifier for text index - MongoDB in JAVA

I want to create a text index on a collection having documents with String fields. However, this command:

coll_events.ensureIndex(new BasicDBObject("$**", "text"));

However, this is returning the following error: Can't canonicalize query: BadValue unknown operator: $**

I have enabled the textSearchEnabled=true in the setParameter option also.

Edit 1: I have tried the same command (it's equivalent) in the Mongo Shell given for windows as:

coll_event.ensureIndex({"$**": "text"})

This command works fine. So I think the problem should be somewhere in the mongodb java driver.

This is a resolved issue JAVA-814 fixed in 2.11.2/2.12. Please update the driver to an appropriate version and then your attempts to index all string fields with $** should succeed.
