Eric Pugh resolved SOLR-6040.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Per SOLR-17655, the recommendation for the future is to use in place updates
for numeric fields. Therefore this wouldn't be valid. If this is required,
please reopen, but with the a view to not using ExternalFileField.
> ExternalFileField support for string values (limited)

> This patch allows string values to be used in ExternalFileField field types,
> in addition to float and pfloat. It has limited value, though, because it
> doesn't support filtering or sorting. However, if you just need to be able to
> return a string value in the search results from an external file, this works
> fine.
