There is a currently undocumented extra int32.
Here's the code for writing the segment file:
output.writeInt(FORMAT); // write FORMAT
output.writeLong(++version); // every write changes the index
output.writeInt(counter); // write counter
output.writeInt(size()); // write infos
for (int i = 0; i < size(); i++) {
SegmentInfo si = info(i);
output.writeString(si.name <http://si.name>);
output.writeInt(si.docCount);
}
The counter is just used to name new segments, so it's not needed for
reading an index.
It was added at the same time Format was added (Apr 2004).
