remove _X.fnx

                 Key: LUCENE-3612
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3612
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Robert Muir
         Attachments: LUCENE-3612.patch

Currently we store a global (not per-segment) field number->name mapping in 
_X.fnx

However, it doesn't actually save us any performance e.g on IndexWriter's init 
because
since LUCENE-2984 we are to loading the fieldinfos anyway to compute files() 
for IFD, etc, 
as thats where hasProx/hasVectors is.

Additionally in the past global files like shared doc stores have caused us 
problems,
(recently we just fixed a bug related to this file in LUCENE-3601).

Finally this is trouble for backwards compatibility as its difficult to handle 
a global
file with the codecs mechanism.
