+/**
+ * Base class for all of the {@link IndexHandler} classes which need to build 
their indexes from the forward index.

Review Comment:
   There are a list of indexes that require the forward index to build their 
indexes, such as inverted index, JSON index, etc. For most scenarios within the 
`ForwardIndexHandler` we too need the forward index to modify the forward index 
(except when we enable forward index for columns where it's disabled). Does 
that clarify your question? Yes each `IndexHandler` needs to deal with remove / 
cleanup / update of its own index, but they often rely on forward index to do 
so.
   
   I'm trying to abstract away the common logic needed by all such 
`IndexHandlers` as they all may require the need to create a temp forward index 
and clean it up later on. I can avoid adding this abstract class but then we'll 
have to duplicate this logic in all such `IndexHandlers`. Let me know if this 
is preferred over what I'm doing now.
