Review Comment:
   Agreed on extracting out common part of creating and cleaning up temporary 
forward index. 
   
   Is it possible to fold this into a utility class with public static methods 
instead ?
   
   Alternatively, will it make sense to call it `BaseIndexHandler` instead with 
the same purpose of extracting out common piece into it and let concrete 
implementations override the abstract implementation when needed ?
   
   Another question for future changes - going forward if someone wants to 
implement the `IndexHandler` interface, then they should extend from 
`BaseForwardIndexBasedIndexHandler` if the index generation needs fwd index 
otherwise directly implement `IndexHandler` ? Is that the expectation ?
