If you create IndexWriter with create=true in a directory that has no Lucene index, segments_1 is created.

If you do the same, but in a directory that already has a Lucene index, segments_(N+1) is created (where N was the last generation of the current index in that directory).

But... this is an internal detail to Lucene's index format and could change in some future release.

Hi List,

How to find if an empty lucene index has been created for the very first
time? Is the generation number 1 enough to determine this?
