CheckIndex API changed without backwards compaitibility
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1402
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1402
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Uwe Schindler
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.4


The API of CheckIndex changed. The Check function returns a CheckIndexStatus 
and not boolean. And JavaDocs notes the boolean return value.

I am not sure if it works, but it would be good to have the check method that 
returns boolean available @Deprecated, i.e.
@Deprecated public static CheckIndexStatus check(Directory dir, boolean doFix) 
throws IOException {
 final CheckIndexStatus stat=this.check(dir,doFix);
 return stat.clean;
}

I am not sure, if it can be done with the same method name, but it prevents 
drop-in-replacements of Lucene to work.
