> Lucene50PostingsReader is the public API that offers the postings() method to read the postings. Any PostingFormat can use it (as well as Lucene50PostingsWriter) to read/write postings.
> But the postings() method asks for a (public) BlockTermState param which is internally cast to the private IntBlockTermState. This BlockTermState is provided by Lucene50PostingsReader.newTermState().
> public PostingsEnum postings(FieldInfo fieldInfo, BlockTermState termState, PostingsEnum reuse, int flags)
> This actually makes impossible to a custom PostingFormat customizing the Block file structure to use this postings() method by providing their (Int)BlockTermState, because they cannot access the FP fields of the IntBlockTermState returned by PostingsReaderBase.newTermState().
> Proposed change:
>  * Either make IntBlockTermState public, as well as its fields.
>  * Or replace it by an interface in the postings() method. In this case the IntBlockTermState fields currently accessed directly would be replaced by getter/setter.
