Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-510:
-------------------------------------------
Whoa, I think you are correct Mark!
On inspecting my changes here, I think the bulk-merging of stored fields is to
blame. Specifically, when we bulk merge the stored fields we fail to check
whether the segments being merged are the pre-UTF8 format. And so that code
bulk-copies stored fields in the older format into a file that claims it's
using the newer format.
This only affects trunk, not 2.3.
Thanks for being such a brave early-adopter trunk tester, Mark. And, sorry :(

> Key: LUCENE-510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-510
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Doug Cutting
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 2.4
>
> Attachments: LUCENE-510.patch, LUCENE-510.take2.patch,
> SortExternal.java, strings.diff, TestSortExternal.java

> 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).
