What exactly do you mean by "fresh index created for the first time"?
Ie, does opening an IndexWriter with create=true over a Directory that
previously had a Lucene index not count as "fresh" for some reason?
(If so, then it sounds like generation==1 is the test you want).
What's the use case behind this?

created for the first time?
Thanks.

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?
