Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3255:
--------------------------------------------
That sounds like a good fix for 2.9.x.
+1 for posting a utility here.
bq. I'm guessing it's a quirk of the file system to leave that all-zeros file
in place prior to a flush of some kind?
Actually I think various filesystems could conceivably do this (write all 0s to
a file), eg on OS/hardware crash, if the file was written by not yet sync'd.

> Lucene will happily wipe an existing index if presented with a latest
> generation segments_n file of all zeros. File format documentation says
> segments_N files should start with a format of -9 but SegmentInfos.read
> accepts >=0 as valid for backward compatibility reasons.
