Shai Erera updated LUCENE-2720:
-------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-2720-trunk.patch
Patch against trunk. I need to fix 3x to write the version and produce an index
for TestBackCompat before committing this patch (even though the tests pass).
> IndexWriter should throw IndexFormatTooOldExc on open, not later during
> optimize/getReader/close

> Key: LUCENE-2720
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2720
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Index
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 3.1, 4.0
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-2720-trunk.patch
>
>
> Spinoff of LUCENE-2618 and also related to the original issue LUCENE-2523...
> If you open IW on a too-old index, you don't find out until much later that
> the index is too old.
> This is because IW does not go and open segment readers on all segments. It
> only does so when it's time to apply deletes, do merges, open an NRT reader,
> etc.
> This is a serious bug because you can in fact succeed in committing with the
> new major version of Lucene against your too-old index, which is catastrophic
> because suddenly the old Lucene version will no longer open the index, and so
> your index becomes unusable.
