There is that. :)
Between using bytecounts as String prefixes, transitioning from
modified UTF-8 to standard UTF-8, and potentially changing the
definition of VInt, there are a lot of backards incompatible changes
looming for the I/O classes.
Maybe we should consider loading differing subclasses of IndexInput/
IndexOutput based on the detected file format version? If this were
C, I'd use function pointers. What's the best way to approximate
that in Java?
