Greets,
First clarification: In a Lucene string, it appears that the VInt at
the head counts bytes, not UTF8 characters... correct?
Next, this document...
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/fileformats.html
... seems to indicate ndicates that Format (the first number written
to the 'segments' file) is a UInt32:
"Format, SegCount, SegSize --> UInt32"
However, it's -1, so it can't be an unsigned 32-bit integer.
Spelunking through SegmentInfos.java in 1.4.3, it looks like Format
is a big-endian twos-complement 32-bit integer.
I think I see some other documentation glitches in the 1.4.3 source,
but since I'm looking at an old release, I probably ought to hold off
on those.
