* <h3>Term Dictionary</h3>
* <p>The .tim file contains the list of terms in each field, in UTF-8 order,
* along with per-term statistics (such as docfreq) and pointers to the frequencies,
* positions, and skip data in the .frq and .prx files.
* </p>
* <p>The .tim is arranged in blocks: with blocks containing either terms or
* sub-blocks.</p>
* <p>NOTE: The term dictionary can plug into different postings implementations:
* for example the postings writer/reader are actually responsible for encoding
* and decoding the MetadataBlock.</p>
* <ul>
* <!-- TODO: expand on this, its not really correct and doesnt explain sub-blocks etc -->

* <li>FieldSummary --&gt; NumFields, &lt;FieldNumber, NumTerms, RootCodeLength, Byte<sup>RootCodeLength</sup>,
* SumDocFreq, DocCount&gt;<sup>NumFields</sup></li>
* <li>Header,PostingsHeader --&gt; {@link CodecUtil#writeHeader CodecHeader}</li>
* <li>DirOffset --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeLong Uint64}</li>
* <li>SkipInterval,MaxSkipLevels,SkipMinimum --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeInt Uint32}</li>
* <li>EntryCount,SuffixLength,StatsLength,DocFreq,MetaLength,SkipDelta,NumFields,

* <li>TotalTermFreq,FreqDelta,ProxDelta,NumTerms,SumTotalTermFreq,SumDocFreq --&gt;
* {@link DataOutput#writeVLong VLong}</li>
* </ul>
* <p>Notes:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>Header is a {@link CodecUtil#writeHeader CodecHeader} storing the version information
* for the BlockTree implementation. On the other hand, PostingsHeader stores the version
* information for the postings reader/writer.</li>
* <li>DirOffset is a pointer to the FieldSummary section.</li>
* <li>SkipInterval is the fraction of TermDocs stored in skip tables. It is used to accelerate
* {@link DocsEnum#advance(int)}. Larger values result in smaller indexes, greater
* acceleration, but fewer accelerable cases, while smaller values result in bigger indexes,
* less acceleration (in case of a small value for MaxSkipLevels) and more accelerable cases.
* </li>
* <li>MaxSkipLevels is the max. number of skip levels stored for each term in the .frq file. A
* low value results in smaller indexes but less acceleration, a larger value results in
* slightly larger indexes but greater acceleration. See format of .frq file for more
* information about skip levels.</li>
* <li>SkipMinimum is the minimum document frequency a term must have in order to write any
* skip data at all.</li>
* <li>DocFreq is the count of documents which contain the term.</li>
* <li>TotalTermFreq is the total number of occurrences of the term.</li>
* <li>FreqDelta determines the position of this term's TermFreqs within the .frq
* file. In particular, it is the difference between the position of this term's
* data in that file and the position of the previous term's data (or zero, for
* the first term in the block).</li>
* <li>ProxDelta determines the position of this term's TermPositions within the
* .prx file. In particular, it is the difference between the position of this
* term's data in that file and the position of the previous term's data (or zero,
* for the first term in the block. For fields that omit position data, this will
* be 0 since prox information is not stored.</li>
* <li>SkipDelta determines the position of this term's SkipData within the .frq
* file. In particular, it is the number of bytes after TermFreqs that the
* SkipData starts. In other words, it is the length of the TermFreq data.
* SkipDelta is only stored if DocFreq is not smaller than SkipMinimum.</li>
* <li>FieldNumber is the fields number from {@link FieldInfos}. (.fnm)</li>
* <li>NumTerms is the number of unique terms for the field.</li>
* <li>RootCode points to the root block for the field.</li>
* <li>SumDocFreq is the total number of postings, the number of term-document pairs across
* the entire field.</li>
* <li>DocCount is the number of documents that have at least one posting for this field.</li>
* </ul>
* <a name="Termindex" id="Termindex"></a>
* <h3>Term Index</h3>
* <p>The .tip file contains an index into the term dictionary, so that it can be
* accessed randomly.</p>
* <ul>
* <li>TermsIndex (.tip) --&gt; Header, &lt;IndexStartFP&gt;<sup>NumFields</sup>,
* FSTIndex<sup>NumFields</sup></li>
* <li>Header --&gt; {@link CodecUtil#writeHeader CodecHeader}</li>
* <li>IndexStartFP --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeVLong VLong}</li>
* <!-- TODO: better describe FST output here -->
* <li>FSTIndex --&gt; {@link FST FST&lt;byte[]&gt;}</li>
* </ul>
* <p>Notes:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>The .tip file contains a separate FST for each field. Each field's IndexStartFP points
* to its FST.</li>
* </ul>
* <a name="Frequencies" id="Frequencies"></a>
* <h3>Frequencies</h3>
* <p>The .frq file contains the lists of documents which contain each term, along
* with the frequency of the term in that document (except when frequencies are
* omitted: {@link IndexOptions#DOCS_ONLY}).</p>
* <ul>
* <li>FreqFile (.frq) --&gt; &lt;TermFreqs, SkipData&gt; <sup>TermCount</sup></li>
* <li>TermFreqs --&gt; &lt;TermFreq&gt; <sup>DocFreq</sup></li>
* <li>TermFreq --&gt; DocDelta[, Freq?]</li>
* <li>SkipData --&gt; &lt;&lt;SkipLevelLength, SkipLevel&gt;
* <sup>NumSkipLevels-1</sup>, SkipLevel&gt; &lt;SkipDatum&gt;</li>
* <li>SkipLevel --&gt; &lt;SkipDatum&gt; <sup>DocFreq/(SkipInterval^(Level +
* 1))</sup></li>
* <li>SkipDatum --&gt;
* DocSkip,PayloadLength?,OffsetLength?,FreqSkip,ProxSkip,SkipChildLevelPointer?</li>
* <li>DocDelta,Freq,DocSkip,PayloadLength,OffsetLength,FreqSkip,ProxSkip --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}</li>
* <li>SkipChildLevelPointer --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeVLong VLong}</li>
* </ul>
* <p>TermFreqs are ordered by term (the term is implicit, from the term dictionary).</p>
* <p>TermFreq entries are ordered by increasing document number.</p>
* <p>DocDelta: if frequencies are indexed, this determines both the document
* number and the frequency. In particular, DocDelta/2 is the difference between
* this document number and the previous document number (or zero when this is the
* first document in a TermFreqs). When DocDelta is odd, the frequency is one.
* When DocDelta is even, the frequency is read as another VInt. If frequencies
* are omitted, DocDelta contains the gap (not multiplied by 2) between document
* numbers and no frequency information is stored.</p>
* <p>For example, the TermFreqs for a term which occurs once in document seven
* and three times in document eleven, with frequencies indexed, would be the
* following sequence of VInts:</p>
* <p>15, 8, 3</p>
* <p>If frequencies were omitted ({@link IndexOptions#DOCS_ONLY}) it would be this
* sequence of VInts instead:</p>
* <p>7,4</p>
* <p>DocSkip records the document number before every SkipInterval <sup>th</sup>
* document in TermFreqs. If payloads are disabled for the term's field, then
* DocSkip represents the difference from the previous value in the sequence. If
* payloads are enabled for the term's field, then DocSkip/2 represents the
* difference from the previous value in the sequence. If payloads are enabled and
* DocSkip is odd, then PayloadLength is stored indicating the length of the last
* payload before the SkipInterval<sup>th</sup> document in TermPositions. If offsets
* are enabled, then OffsetLength is stored indicating the length of the last offset
* (endOffset-startOffset).
* FreqSkip and ProxSkip record the position of every SkipInterval <sup>th</sup>
* entry in FreqFile and ProxFile, respectively. File positions are relative to
* the start of TermFreqs and Positions, to the previous SkipDatum in the
* sequence.</p>
* <p>For example, if DocFreq=35 and SkipInterval=16, then there are two SkipData
* entries, containing the 15 <sup>th</sup> and 31 <sup>st</sup> document numbers
* in TermFreqs. The first FreqSkip names the number of bytes after the beginning
* of TermFreqs that the 16 <sup>th</sup> SkipDatum starts, and the second the
* number of bytes after that that the 32 <sup>nd</sup> starts. The first ProxSkip
* names the number of bytes after the beginning of Positions that the 16
* <sup>th</sup> SkipDatum starts, and the second the number of bytes after that
* that the 32 <sup>nd</sup> starts.</p>
* <p>Each term can have multiple skip levels. The amount of skip levels for a
* term is NumSkipLevels = Min(MaxSkipLevels,
* floor(log(DocFreq/log(SkipInterval)))). The number of SkipData entries for a
* skip level is DocFreq/(SkipInterval^(Level + 1)), whereas the lowest skip level
* is Level=0.<br>
* Example: SkipInterval = 4, MaxSkipLevels = 2, DocFreq = 35. Then skip level 0
* has 8 SkipData entries, containing the 3<sup>rd</sup>, 7<sup>th</sup>,
* 11<sup>th</sup>, 15<sup>th</sup>, 19<sup>th</sup>, 23<sup>rd</sup>,
* 27<sup>th</sup>, and 31<sup>st</sup> document numbers in TermFreqs. Skip level
* 1 has 2 SkipData entries, containing the 15<sup>th</sup> and 31<sup>st</sup>
* document numbers in TermFreqs.<br>
* The SkipData entries on all upper levels &gt; 0 contain a SkipChildLevelPointer
* referencing the corresponding SkipData entry in level-1. In the example has
* entry 15 on level 1 a pointer to entry 15 on level 0 and entry 31 on level 1 a
* pointer to entry 31 on level 0.
* </p>
* <a name="Positions" id="Positions"></a>
* <h3>Positions</h3>
* <p>The .prx file contains the lists of positions that each term occurs at
* within documents. Note that fields omitting positional data do not store
* anything into this file, and if all fields in the index omit positional data
* then the .prx file will not exist.</p>
* <ul>
* <li>ProxFile (.prx) --&gt; &lt;TermPositions&gt; <sup>TermCount</sup></li>
* <li>TermPositions --&gt; &lt;Positions&gt; <sup>DocFreq</sup></li>
* <li>Positions --&gt; &lt;PositionDelta,PayloadLength?,OffsetDelta?,OffsetLength?,PayloadData?&gt; <sup>Freq</sup></li>
* <li>PositionDelta,OffsetDelta,OffsetLength,PayloadLength --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeVInt VInt}</li>
* <li>PayloadData --&gt; {@link DataOutput#writeByte byte}<sup>PayloadLength</sup></li>
* </ul>
* <p>TermPositions are ordered by term (the term is implicit, from the term dictionary).</p>
* <p>Positions entries are ordered by increasing document number (the document
* number is implicit from the .frq file).</p>
* <p>PositionDelta is, if payloads are disabled for the term's field, the
* difference between the position of the current occurrence in the document and
* the previous occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this
* document). If payloads are enabled for the term's field, then PositionDelta/2
* is the difference between the current and the previous position. If payloads
* are enabled and PositionDelta is odd, then PayloadLength is stored, indicating
* the length of the payload at the current term position.</p>
* <p>For example, the TermPositions for a term which occurs as the fourth term in
* one document, and as the fifth and ninth term in a subsequent document, would
* be the following sequence of VInts (payloads disabled):</p>
* <p>4, 5, 4</p>
* <p>PayloadData is metadata associated with the current term position. If
* PayloadLength is stored at the current position, then it indicates the length
* of this Payload. If PayloadLength is not stored, then this Payload has the same
* length as the Payload at the previous position.</p>
* <p>OffsetDelta/2 is the difference between this position's startOffset from the
* previous occurrence (or zero, if this is the first occurrence in this document).
* If OffsetDelta is odd, then the length (endOffset-startOffset) differs from the
* previous occurrence and an OffsetLength follows. Offset data is only written for
* {@link IndexOptions#DOCS_AND_FREQS_AND_POSITIONS_AND_OFFSETS}.</p>
