Hmmm... does this mean that 4.1 would REQUIRE reindexing?!?! If so, that would strongly argue for there to be a 4.0.1 release that has both bug fixes and the incremental feature additions of the 4x branch but DOESN’T require a reindex.
Who made this decision that it was A-OK for 4.1 to require a reindex? I don’t recall seeing any discussion here about it. -- Jack Krupansky From: Adrien Grand Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 7:00 AM To: dev@lucene.apache.org Subject: [Heads-up] Index file format change on trunk Hi, I just committed LUCENE-4509 [1] which changes the default StoredFieldsFormat on trunk (backport to come on branch 4.x in a few minutes). You should reindex. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4509 -- Adrien
