Description

DocumentDictionaryFactory requires weightField to be mandatory, but it doesn't need to as DocumentDictionary allows it to be null

So one has to define the weight field in the solrconfig.xml even if their data doesn't contain any weights. We shouldn't make the weightField mandatory in DocumentDictionaryFactory
