Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-9116:
--------------------------------------
I want to draw attention to the fact that the attached pull request removes the
FST and FSTOrd postings formats, which were harder to migrate, and that it
breaks compatibility for some postings formats, but not Lucene84 and Lucene50
which we need to support.

> The postings API allows to store metadata about a term either in a long[] or
> in a byte[]. This is unnecessary as all information could be encoded in the
> byte[], which is what most codecs do in practice.
