panic: column _value:float is not of type string

[russorat]

Found in cloud2. this should be an error for sure, but not a panic: {"code":"internal error","message":"panic: column _value:float is not of type string"}

from(bucket: "telegraf")
  |> range(start: -1h)
  |> set(key: "_value", value: "my_field")

@russorat this is a known issue. Right now, set() can only set string values. @nathanielc, does experimental.set() let you set values of any type or is that dependent on the type system refactor?
