Description

This is a follow-up of LUCENE-10159 where DirectWriter's padding hid an out-of-bounds access. A consequence of DirectWriter's padding is that out-of-bounds access is completely silent until doc values use strictly more than 16 bits per ord, a situation that almost never occurs in our tests.
