Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-6371:
--------------------------------------

I just investigated this a little by collecting these:
{code}
  public class IndexedPayload {
    public int position;
    public Term term;
    public BytesRef bytesRef;
  }
{code}
But now I'm realizing that the problem here is that we don't know in advance 
which indexed information is available and should be provided for each term: 
the term itself, its position, payload and/or offsets.
This is similar to a TokenStream and its attributes, so why not provide a 
TokenStream instead?
This would boil down to providing a subset (matching the query) of the 
TokenStream used to index the document.
The PrefillTokenStream of  LUCENE-5687 could maybe also be used for this.

The question is: could that work well?
Would such a TokenStream be good for highlighting, too?
