bq. 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.

Yeah, we should maybe add a method to Version that writes itsself to a 
DataOutput: Version.writeVersion(DataOutput) and Version.readVersion(DataInput).

In any case, this is a separate issue, because it involves a index format 
change, that we should not do in 4.10.1. I would suggest to change this for the 
coming 5.0.

> 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?
