Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-3251:
------------------------------------

bq. But your same hypothetical issue can happen inside e.g. codec code if 
suddenly the codec returns different things: its exactly the same problem and 
would be 'hard to enumerate and ongoing' just like it would be for solr search 
code!

Right, but I'm hoping that the scope of potential problems in lucene indexing 
code is much more limited than all of the solr search code.
The Codec in SchemaCodecFactory only overrides getPostingsFormatForField and 
getDocValuesFormatForField.  It depends on how those objects are used in Lucene 
(if those methods are called more than once for the same field or not).  Then 
we need to understand what postings format changes and docvalue format changes 
are OK (if any).

At the very least, there are a number of changes at the Solr level that will 
not change anything at the Lucene level (like changing multiValued from false 
to true for instance).
