Hi
On running a quick test after a handful of minor code changes to deal with 4.10 deprecations, a program that updates an existing index failed with Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot write 3x SegmentInfo unless codec is Lucene3x (got: Lucene40) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfos.write3xInfo(SegmentInfos.java:607) and along the way did something to the index to make it unusable. Digging a bit deeper and working on a different old test index that was lying around, and taking a backup first this time, this is reproducible. The working index: total 1036 -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 165291 Jan 18 2013 _0.fdt -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 125874 Jan 18 2013 _0.fdx -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 1119 Jan 18 2013 _0.fnm -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 378015 Jan 18 2013 _0_Lucene40_0.frq -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 350628 Jan 18 2013 _0_Lucene40_0.tim -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 13988 Jan 18 2013 _0_Lucene40_0.tip -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 311 Jan 18 2013 _0.si -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 69 Jan 18 2013 segments_2 -rw-r--r-- 1 tril users 20 Jan 18 2013 segments.gen and output from 4.10 CheckIndex Opening index @ index/ Segments file=segments_2 numSegments=1 version=4.0.0.2 format= 1 of 1: name=_0 docCount=15730 version=4.0.0.2 codec=Lucene40 compound=false numFiles=7 size (MB)=0.987 diagnostics = {os=Linux, os.version=3.1.0-1.2-desktop, source=flush, lucene.version=4.0.0 1394950 - rmuir - 2012-10-06 02:58:12, os.arch=amd64, java.version=1.7.0_10, java.vendor=Oracle Corporation} no deletions test: open reader.........OK test: check integrity.....OK test: check live docs.....OK test: fields..............OK [13 fields] test: field norms.........OK [0 fields] test: terms, freq, prox...OK [53466 terms; 217447 terms/docs pairs; 139382 tokens] test: stored fields.......OK [15730 total field count; avg 1 fields per doc] test: term vectors........OK [0 total vector count; avg 0 term/freq vector fields per doc] test: docvalues...........OK [0 docvalues fields; 0 BINARY; 0 NUMERIC; 0 SORTED; 0 SORTED_NUMERIC; 0 SORTED_SET] No problems were detected with this index.
