I'm not 100% positive, but i believe a change like that could cause
problems if the index on the master is completley rebuild from scratch.
indexVersion is garunteed to increase as the index is modified, (ie: add
or merge segments) but i think an entirely new index (ie: delete the
entire index directory as deleteByQuery("*:*) does and then reindex) could
concievably result i na new index with a lower indexVersion number then
the index it replaces.
Yonik / Miller: does the SolrCloud branch already have support for master
failover in a situation like this (ie: a two node "cloud") ?
