Hi, the SPI should only be used when READING indexes. When you create a codec for IndexWriter the codec version hardcodes its postings formats and other subtypes. As you see it is the same for docValuesFormat and other parts. This allows to read any index, but when you write an index it will use the exact codec as specified. Basically we made the decission to hardcode the correct classes when writing indexes, but load the codecs dynamically when open an existing index. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
