IndexOutput.writeString() should write length in bytes
------------------------------------------------------

         Key: LUCENE-510
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-510
     Project: Lucene - Java
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Store  
    Versions: 2.1    
    Reporter: Doug Cutting
     Fix For: 2.1


We should change the format of strings written to indexes so that the length of 
the string is in bytes, not Java characters.  This issue has been discussed at:

http://www.mail-archive.com/java-dev@lucene.apache.org/msg01970.html

We must increment the file format number to indicate this change.  At least the 
format number in the segments file should change.

I'm targetting this for 2.1, i.e., we shouldn't commit it to trunk until after 
2.0 is released, to minimize incompatible changes between 1.9 and 2.0 (other 
than removal of deprecated features).
