Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-7633:
--------------------------------------

The Terms javadocs:

bq. Access to the terms in a specific field. See also Fields

But Terms does more than accessing the terms of a field, it also provides index 
statistics for a field.
So in the o.a.l.index package, Field might actually be better name, but that 
would be confusing with o.a.l.document.Field.

Perhaps this would be ideal:
Rename Fields to IndexedFields
Rename Terms to IndexedField

The current patch to rename Terms to FieldTerms changes 860 occurrences in 290 
source code files,
so there is no point in keeping this open for a longer period.
I'll close in two weeks or so, unless there are other opinions.
