Does anybody know if we have doc on the recommended process for upgrading data after upgrading Solr? Sure the upgraded version will work fine with that old data, but unless the data is upgraded, the user can't then upgrade to the next major release after that. This is a case in point - the user is on 4.x and upgrades to 5.x with that 4.x data, but will want to upgrade to 6.x shortly, but that will require the 4.x data to be rewritten (force-merged?) to 5.x first.
