Hi Jeff, Yes: Lucene supports reading and writing indexes that have been created by the current or previous _major_ version. Said otherwise, if you create an index with version N.x, you will need to reindex when moving to N+2. For instance, Lucene 9.12 supports reading and writing to Lucene 8.x and Lucene 9.x indices, but doesn't support Lucene 7.x or earlier indices.
