Han Jiang updated LUCENE-5029:
------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-5029.patch

Reuse our old BlockTermState, by adding a new field 'TermMetaData', so that 
each PostingsBaseFormat can override its own MetaData format. There is still 
one testcase won't pass (the multi-thread TestCodecs), when postingsformat is 
set to Lucene41WithOrd.

Actually, the field 'meta' in BlockTermState won't be changed until inside 
PostingsBaseFormat, this is something still weird: we don't need this in upper 
level (above term dict), but have to get it glued with TermState every time.
                
> factor out a generic 'TermState' for better sharing in FST-based term dict

> Currently, those two FST-based term dict (memory codec & blocktree) all use 
> FST<BytesRef> as a base data structure, this might not share much data in 
> parent arcs, since the encoded BytesRef doesn't guarantee that 
> 'Outputs.common()' always creates a long prefix. 
> While for current postings format, it is guaranteed that each FP (pointing to 
> .doc, .pos, etc.) will increase monotonically with 'larger' terms. That 
> means, between two Outputs, the Outputs from smaller term can be safely 
> pushed towards root. However we always have some tricky TermState to deal 
> with (like the singletonDocID for pulsing trick), so as Mike suggested, we 
> can simply cut the whole TermState into two parts: one part for comparation 
> and intersection, another for restoring generic data. Then the data structure 
> will be clear: this generic 'TermState' will consist of a fixed-length 
> LongsRef and variable-length BytesRef.
