organismQuantity is stored in solr with datatype string, formatting of the value is performed by pipelines.

According to the DwC term definition this value can contains non numeric values depending on the organismQuantityType term

@peggynewman - given the above definition, can this be closed ? If not I suggest we move the issue to gbif/pipelines for discussion with gbif team.
