             Summary: Bump FST Version
                 Key: LUCENE-8844
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8844
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Mike Sokolov


In LUCENE-8781, we changed the FST encoding but not bump the version number we 
write in its header. The change was backwards-compatible (new readers can still 
read old FSTs), but not forwards-compatible: older readers would exhibit 
strange behavior if they attempted to read one of these newer format FSTs.

It would be much better if readers could catch such errors and notify in a 
sensible way, and we have version checking that does that; we just need to 
increase the VERSION_CURRENT constant.

Also, ~[~dsmiley] points out the CHANGES.txt entries for LUCENE-8781 should be 
moved to the 8.2.0 section since that change was backported. I think we can 
clean that up at the same time since it's version-related.
