Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5863:
-------------------------------------
+1 to improving testbackcompat itself to also have additional sanity checks.
But i would also like the smoketester check.
Furthermore, in my opinion this is all not even that satisfying. Given the
number of bugs we have had here (and the complexity), I am frankly unhappy with
the minimal checking of static indexes. It would be really nice in the future
if we had something dynamic (it could be entirely out of the source tree: don't
care), that generates indexes with old versions that aren't the same each time
and tests them with the current version (at least checkindex, verifying it
"works" too would also be nice).

> Currently the versioning here is a total mess, and its inconsistent across
> bugfix releases.
> We should just generate back compat indexes for every release: regardless of
> whether the index format changed, even for bugfix releases. This ensures at
> least we try to test that the back compat is working.
