> The FloatField field type takes any string value at index. These values aren't necessarily in JSON numeric, but the JSON writer does not check its validity before writing it out as a JSON numeric.
> I'm aware of the SortableFloatField which does do index time verification and conversion of the value, but the way the JSON writer is working seemed like either a bug that needed addressed or perhaps a gotch that needs better documented?
