-----------------------------------------
Wow! So fast! :)
bq. You didn't remove the .zip indexes?
Your patch didn't remove them for me, patch file format can't handle binary
stuff.
bq. You removed the code from TestBackwardsCompatibilty ...... So I don't think
we should remove that piece of code.
Several lines later there sits a piece of absolutely identical commented-out
code. The only difference is that it doesn't use "preLockless" in method names.
If someone really needs it later, the code I left over suits him no less than
the code I removed.
bq. TestIndexFileDeleter failed 'cause of deletable file - fixed it.
Cool! It's very strange I missed the failure.
bq. Renamed FORMAT_FLEX_POSTING to FORMAT_4_0
FORMAT_4_0_FLEX_POSTINGS? I loved the self-descriptiveness :)
And, yup. Bye-bye to the byte.

> We should remove support for 2.x (and 1.9) indexes in 4.0. It seems that
> nothing can be done in 3x because there is no special code which handles 1.9,
> so we'll leave it there. This issue should cover:
> # Remove the .zip indexes
> # Remove the unnecessary code from SegmentInfo and SegmentInfos. Mike
> suggests we compare the version headers at the top of SegmentInfos, in 2.9.x
> vs 3.0.x, to see which ones can go.
> # remove FORMAT_PRE from FieldInfos
> # Remove old format from TermVectorsReader
> If you know of other places where code can be removed, then please post a
> comment here.
> I don't know when I'll have time to handle it, definitely not in the next few
> days. So if someone wants to take a stab at it, be my guest.
