Erick Erickson commented on LUCENE-8004:
----------------------------------------
Since LUCENE-7976 hasn't been added to 7.4, this is _not_ a blocker for 7.4.
> IndexUpgraderTool should rewrite segments rather than forceMerge

> Key: LUCENE-8004
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8004
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Spinoff from LUCENE-7976. We help users get themselves into a corner by using
> forceMerge on an index to rewrite all segments in the current Lucene format.
> We should rewrite each individual segment instead. This would also help with
> upgrading X-2->X-1, then X-1->X.
> Of course the preferred method is to re-index from scratch.
