Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4754:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks i30817, I see what's happening: IndexWriter created a new (empty)
SegmentInfos in memory, but it also goes and loads any prior commit points in
the index and then gives IndexDeletionPolicy a chance (onInit) to delete them.
The problem is, it cannot load those prior commit points since they are too old
...
So realistically I don't think we can fix this, ie the app/user must fully
delete the ancient index even with OpenNode.CREATE.
But thanks for raising this!

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.1
> Reporter: i30817
> Priority: Minor
>
> IndexWriter indexWriter = new IndexWriter(cacheDir,
> new IndexWriterConfig(Version.LUCENE_41, englishAnalyzer).

> Fails with CorruptedIndex subclass, IndexTooOldException (or something like
> that), even though the config would just replace the files.
