> Currently, those two FST-based term dict (memory codec & blocktree) all use FST<BytesRef> as a base data structure, this might not share much data in parent arcs, since the encoded BytesRef doesn't guarantee that 'Outputs.common()' always creates a long prefix.
> While for current postings format, it is guaranteed that each FP (pointing to .doc, .pos, etc.) will increase monotonically with 'larger' terms. That means, between two Outputs, the Outputs from smaller term can be safely pushed towards root. However we always have some tricky TermState to deal with (like the singletonDocID for pulsing trick), so as Mike suggested, we can simply cut the whole TermState into two parts: one part for comparation and intersection, another for restoring generic data. Then the data structure will be clear: this generic 'TermState' will consist of a fixed-length LongsRef and variable-length BytesRef.
