             Summary: Re-instead CheckIndex's attempts to confirm index sort is 
consistent across all segments
                 Key: LUCENE-9888
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9888
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Michael McCandless


[~rmuir] opened this awesome PR to enable ecj redundant {{null}} checking: 
[https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/44]

But one of the chunks of dead code we removed from {{CheckIndex}} was spooky: 
[https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/44/files#r602733991]

I think the intention here was to confirm that each segment's {{indexSort}} is 
the same, but because the {{Sort previousIndexSort = null}} declaration was 
*inside* the {{for}} body, it made the check pointless!

I'll make a simple PR to re-instate the code and move the declaration outside 
the loop.  Who knows, maybe fixing this long latent bug in {{CheckIndex}} will 
catch a fly?  And maybe we could do some git archaeology to understand how the 
code became zombified?
