Yes, it only affects packed FSTs. In this case, the backward compatibility
would be rather easy to set-up (just fill a GrowableWriter instead of an int[]).

Finally had a chance to glance through the patch. I was confusing myself about
DocValues (its unaffected here). So this is no backwards break to the index
format, since we don't use packed FSTs in our standard codec. I wouldn't do any
backwards compatibility.

> There are some places where an int[] could be advantageously replaced with a
> packed integer array.
> I am thinking (at least) of:
> * FST.nodeAddress (GrowableWriter)
> * FST.inCounts (GrowableWriter)
> * FST.nodeRefToAddress (read-only Reader)
> The serialization/deserialization methods should be modified too in order to
> take advantage of PackedInts.get{Reader,Writer}.
