Hi Jack,
If you would have read the whole message, the answer would be clear: “Note: if you are using an official release of Lucene, you can safely ignore this message.” The message was for people who built their own Lucene 5.x or Trunk branch, not using an official release. The index format changed since 5.3, but now it changes again. In fact, only the post-5.3 format changed, which was never released.

I thought the idea was that only a major release (trunk) would change index format. -- Jack Krupansky On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 11:24 AM, Adrien Grand < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> wrote: I committed a patch that changes the index format for doc values. As a consequence, if you have indices that you built with lucene trunk or branch_5x, you have to recreate them.
