    Description

      valType has never done anything except throw an error, the underlying ValueSource has always been a FileFloatSource. To add to the confusion, the documents say use "float", which throws an exception on Solr startup every since "float" was re-defined as a TrieFloatField. "pfloat" works currently though.

      Since valType is never used for anything, we should make it optional until such a time as it is.

      Additionally, TrieFloatField (valtype="float|tfloat") types should be OK as a field type along with FloatField(valType="pfloat")
