Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-6826:
--------------------------------------
Yeah, I'm all for consistency, and case sensitivity is somewhat hit-or-miss as
you point out.
I'd be hard-pressed to advocate changing the _code_ to break on lower-case
fieldtype
for instance since it'd break existing schemas (including some we went out!).
Anyway, I'll commit this this soon..

> For legacy reasons, both fieldtype and fieldType are acceptable in
> schema.xml. However, XML is case sensitive and this causes confusion when
> people see both fieldtype and fieldType used in official examples.
> This causes them to assume that maybe our particular XML is not case
> sensitive and then they mis-case other elements, such as dynamicField, which
> are then silently ignored.
