           Summary: KNB data error checking is overly aggressive

On r21314, I can no longer access the Kruger data.  I believe this is due to
some overly aggressive error checking on the data.  The data packages (which
are not directly under my control) have thrown errors on the console.  I think
this is due to negative numbers and zeroes in columns that are nominally whole
numbers.  In the past, there were non-fatal, but this is now major problem.

This change happened somewhere between r21218 and r21310.

The error message is specifically "Unable to parse the MetaData: Error parsing
the eml package: Exception in DataTypeResolver"
