Description

With 6.1.0 the protected method DefaultSolrHighlighter.doHighlightingByFastVectorHighlighter passes in a private class called FvhContainer which makes it very difficult to extend.

I have code that extends DefaultSolrHighlighter which I can't fix due to this issue.
Could you consider making FvhContainer "protected" and use a constructor?
