"We will only provide a conversion tool that can convert indexes from the last "branch_3x" up to this trunk (4.0) release, so they can be read later, but may not contain terms with all current analyzers, so people need mostly reindexing. Older indexes will not be able to be read natively without conversion first (with maybe loss of analyzer compatibility)." the fact 4.0 can read 3.x indexes *at all* without a converter tool is only because Mike Mccandless went the extra mile. i dont see anything suggesting we should support any tools for 2.x indexes! -- Robert Muir rcm...@gmail.com
