> Hmm, can you elaborate how it can be fully backwards-compatible on with the indexes that have patching? I think the idea is that because we always maintain readers that can read prior index versions, we will be able to read the old patched indexes, but we would only write new ones lacking patching (which might not be readable by old readers, i.e. forwards-compatible, if we changed the metadata). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
