--------------------------------------
Ok thanks for the explanation. I looked briefly at LUCENE-8135 and I understand
the intent better now.
> Allow codecs to index term impacts

> Subtask of LUCENE-4100.
> Thats an example of something similar to impact indexing (though, his
> implementation currently stores a max for the entire term, the problem is the
> same).
> We can imagine other similar algorithms too: I think the codec API should be
> able to support these.
> Currently it really doesnt: Stefan worked around the problem by providing a
> tool to 'rewrite' your index, he passes the IndexReader and Similarity to it.
> But it would be better if we fixed the codec API.
> One problem is that the Postings writer needs to have access to the
> Similarity. Another problem is that it needs access to the term and
> collection statistics up front, rather than after the fact.
> This might have some cost (hopefully minimal), so I'm thinking to experiment
> in a branch with these changes and see if we can make it work well.
