David Smiley commented on LUCENE-9116:
--------------------------------------
Removal of FST postings format is a big loss IMO. I volunteer to upgrade it.
Also Solr's TaggerTest now fails; it configures postingsFormat=FST50 and has
documentation about this. I suggest proposals to remove our formats have
dedicated issues with suitable titles and not be hidden beneath a minor
refactoring issue. _Please revert this change._

> The postings API allows to store metadata about a term either in a long[] or
> in a byte[]. This is unnecessary as all information could be encoded in the
> byte[], which is what most codecs do in practice.
