Mike Sokolov created LUCENE-8844: ------------------------------------ Summary: Bump FST Version Key: LUCENE-8844 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8844 Project: Lucene - Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Mike Sokolov
In LUCENE-8781, we changed the FST encoding but not bump the version number we write in its header. The change was backwards-compatible (new readers can still read old FSTs), but not forwards-compatible: older readers would exhibit strange behavior if they attempted to read one of these newer format FSTs. It would be much better if readers could catch such errors and notify in a sensible way, and we have version checking that does that; we just need to increase the VERSION_CURRENT constant. Also, ~[~dsmiley] points out the CHANGES.txt entries for LUCENE-8781 should be moved to the 8.2.0 section since that change was backported. I think we can clean that up at the same time since it's version-related. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
