David Smiley commented on LUCENE-9116:
--------------------------------------
Indeed; the SolrTextTagger doesn't fundamentally require any particular
postingsFormat but it beats so hard on the term dictionary that "FST50"
performs really well.
I approved your PR; changes look good. I love the simplification!
I commented on LUCENE-3069 which introduced this format to alert Watchers there
about this matter. Lets be fully transparent about decisions to remove things.
Lets not commit this for a week.

> 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.
