Smalyshev added a comment. Titan allows indexing the floats, but not in vertex-centric indexes. Elasticsearch indexes support floats, for example. I'm not sure what is the actual impact of this limitation yet - it probably depends on the kind of lookups we would do, as for some vertix-centered indexes may be important and for some they may be irrelevant. We'll need more research into this. If this proves to be a problem, we could have a work-around - say, a duplicate property with Precision data type, with lower resolution just for specific lookups that benefit from indexing.
In any case it's probably not worse than keeping them as strings, as in the latter case indexes can not be used for anything like "more", "less", "between", etc. queries and may not even work for exact value matches.
