Description

Currently UniformSplit FieldMetadata stores sumDocFreq, numTerms, sumTotalTermFreq as int which is incorrect.

The fix is to make them long. The postings format will be compatible since those counters are currently written as VInt and they will be read as VLong (and then written as VLong afterwards).
