Description

I'm trying to use both the PostingsHighlighter and the FastVectorHighlighter in the same solrconfig (selection driven by different request handlers), but once I define 2 search components in the config, it always picks the Postings Highlighter (even if I never reference it in any request handler).

I think the culprit is some specific code in SolrCore.loadSearchComponents(), which overwrites the "highlighting" component with the contents of the "postingshighlight" component - so the components map has 2 entries, but they both point to the same highlighting class (the PostingsHighlighter).
