Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6213:
-------------------------------------
I dont want to cause delays for 5.0, but this might be one to fix as it will
confuse users. First we need the test to know if its really a bug, but I think
it is.
> Add test for IndexFormatTooOldException if a commit has a 3.x segment

> Key: LUCENE-6213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6213
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Robert Muir
>
> We should add a 4.x index (4.x commit) with some 3.x segment(s) to our
> backwards tests.
> I don't think we throw IndexFormatTooOldException correctly in this case. I
> think instead the user will get a confusing SPI error about a missing codec
> "Lucene3x".
