Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-5952:
--------------------------------------------
bq. I think we still have to restrict major to be in the valid range, otherwise
the encodedValue may overflow. So major should be between 0 and 255, right?
Ahh good, I'll do that.
bq. Just a suggestion: Can we add a fake index with a version number of "6.1.0"
to see if you correctly get IndexTooNewException and not an IAE?
So I built this 6.1.0 index (by hacking up a trunk checkout) and CheckIndex
(also on trunk) happily checked the index without complaints! I agree we
should try to somehow test forwards compatibility ... but I'd rather explore
that on a separate issue? I'll open one.
bq. In my opinion, we should not save index version as string at all and
instead save the "encoded value" as an (v)int.
I agree ... I'll fix Lucene46SegmentInfoWriter/Reader to write as int ... I
think I'll use separate vInts: I don't like tying this "encoded format"
(stuffing 4 ints that are actually bytes into 1 int) to the index format.
> Make Version.java lenient again?

> As discussed on the dev list, it's spooky how Version.java tries to fully
> parse the incoming version string ... and then throw exceptions that lack
> details about what invalid value it received, which file contained the
> invalid value, etc.
> It also seems too low level to be checking versions (e.g. is not future proof
> for when 4.10 is passed a 5.x index by accident), and seems redundant with
> the codec headers we already have for checking versions?
> Should we just go back to lenient parsing?
