Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-3255:
-----------------------------------------
I wonder if we could check the latest segments_N file against a previous one
and if the version of that file is older that the previous one we drop it since
we don't provide forward compatibility. we could even spin a 2.9 bugfix release
for that though.

> 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.
