Description

This is a spin-off issue from https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/180 for Fields class deprecation / removal in TermVector reader usage. As Fields class is generally meant as internal class reserved for posting index, we would like to have some dedicated TermVector abstractions and APIs instead.
