Description

FuzzyQuery has a static helper method that translates float similarity values into integer edit distances, only currently used by queryparsers.  It has been deprecated since 4.0, but I think allowing query parsers to specify float similarities is actually fine - we should un-deprecate it, and just remove the deprecated float-valued defaultMinSimilarity member.
