Description

Ref Guide seems to be missing a couple of types that we have in Solr on the relevant page: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_6/field-types-included-with-solr.html

Examples are:

• SortableTextField
• BBoxField
• Some other Spatial types

Need to review the org.apache.solr.schema package and update the guide.

Also, as there is quite a number of deprecated types now, it may be worth moving them into a separate box below, to make it easier for new people to scan the list and see what may be appropriate.

And cross-link the references where appropriate. Maybe including to Javadoc as well.
