Returns:the datatype with the requested name, or None if datatype is not found

Note

If type is already in TypeManager it will not load anything and return the already loaded version.

Returns:

The resulting DataType or None if no match was found

Raises:

FastrTypeError – if the options argument is of the wrong type

The function will first create a list of all candidate DataTypes. Subsequently, it will check for each candidate if the value would valid. If there are multiple matches, the config value for preferred types is consulted to break the ties. If non of the DataTypes are in the preferred types list, a somewhat random DataType will be picked as the most optimal result.
