> Make IndexDataReader.readIndex fail fast on "garbage" input.
> Copied from original issue MINDEXER-13:
> Jesse Glick:
> Something else I just noticed: IndexDataReader.readIndex reads and discards
> the first byte of the (uncompressed) stream, without checking that it is in
> fact IndexDataWriter.VERSION. Fixing this to throw an IOException for
> anything else would be a good idea in combination with my current patch,
> which just creates a DataInputStream from the raw input if it is not in GZIP
> format but cannot easily check that the input is anything in particular: at
> least the reader upon being given random garbage would at least fail promptly
> in the common case that the first byte is not 0x01. (Would have been better
> for the index format to use a real magic number, but too late for that.)
