Plan for removal of IFieldType #104000

@mattkime

Description

@mattkime

IFieldType is a legacy type that contains too much ambiguity. It exists in the data plugin but some API consumers rely on its flexibility so we can't remove it without addressing the API consumers first. The Index Pattern Field type or IndexPatternFieldSpec should be used instead. If this doesn't work, AppServices should be involved.

  • Document which plugins have IFieldType references and track their removal
