There are a finite number of field types that ship with Solr so the fact
that someone can create an infinite number of fields really isn't an issue.
Any field that is created and stored in Solr has to be one of the finite field
types. I agree that we can't assume knowledge of data hence handling all field
types that could be potentially problematic.
Are there other solutions to this problem that we're not thinking of?
