Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-8396:
------------------------------------
bq. Steve Rowe had some concerns about naming, since Solr already has a
PointType and in the schemas I'm using "pTYPE", which could be confused with
the old "Plain numeric fields" (Solr 1.4-ish?).
The first time we went through this transition, "int" was renamed to "pint" in
the example schema, and then a new "int" was created to use trie (numeric).
If we expect the old numerics to go away at some point, we could do the same
thing. In the longer run, keeping simple names like "int" for our primary
types is nice.
If we're taking a more phased approach though, we might want to wait until
point fields work with more stuff before rename.

> In LUCENE-6917, [~mikemccand] mentioned that DimensionalValues are better
> than NumericFields in most respects. We should explore the benefits of using
> it in Solr and hence, if appropriate, switch over to using them.
