Lucene maintains compatibility with earlier stable release index versions, and to some extent transparently upgrades them. But there is no guaranteed compatibility between different in-development indexes.
E.g. 3.2 reads 3.1 indexes and upgrades them, but 3.2-dev-snapshot-10 (while happily handling 3.1) may fail reading 3.2-dev-snapshot-8 index, as they have the same version tag, yet different formats.
