      Description

      Ironically, FSTOrdPostingsFormat has a TermsEnum.ord() that throws UnsupportedOperationException. There are TODOs here and some discussion in LUCENE-3069 (CC Han Jiang). Isn't supporting ord() entirely the point of this postings format?

      Additionally, if ord() was supported,couldn't TermState be effectively the ordinal, thus making it lighter-weight/cheaper?
