Never mind my previous question, understood what you meant about the impact to norms after looking at the uses of CreatedMajorVersion in various Similarity classes. It almost looks re-indexing is the only option here. This will be quite a big change to embrace for the users of addIndexes(). (

If not would we upgrade first then fake the index creation version to be 7.0.0 ? Thanks again.

Let me try it after an upgrade as well. Same code below, @Test public void mergeUsingCodecReader() throws IOException { DirectoryReader ir = DirectoryReader.open(lucene610Dir); SegmentReader air = (SegmentReader)ir.leaves().get(0).reader(); IndexWriterConfig config = newIndexWriterConfig(); IndexWriter w = new IndexWriter(newEmptyDirectory("target"), config); exception.expect(IllegalArgumentException.class); exception.expectMessage("Cannot merge a segment that has been created with major version 6 into this index which has been created by major version 7"); w.addIndexes(air); w.forceMerge(1); w.close(); } Thanks, Kannan On 11/9/17, 5:07 PM, "Michael McCandless" <luc...@mikemccandless.com<mailto:luc...@mikemccandless.com>> wrote: Maybe try the addIndexes method that takes CodecReader[] instead? It will be somewhat slower, since it fully reads and writes the index, but it should work across major versions?
