These are set by the analyzer, to the start and end character offset
for this token (using the OffsetAttribute).  The offsets are used for
highlighting.

It's an arbitrary per-token-position byte[] that you set during
analysis (using the PayloadAttribute).

You should probably encode them all into the payload; Lucene requires
that the offsets are "in order".
