Also, I am not sure about the following below statement: >>A direct update from 2.x to 4.0 is not possible
Are you saying that its impossible to upgrade from 2.4 - 4.0 version? Why can't we upgrade? Any technical limitations with Lucene that will not allow from upgrading from 2.4 - 4.x?. I am directly upgrading from 2.4 - 4.x but not sure about any problems with respect to compilation against 4.x apart from the API changes. I am fixing them but not sure about any other issues? As far as the indexing is considered, we are thinking of deleting all the existing indexes and recreating with the newer version (4.0). We don't want to take an extra hop ( 2.4 - 3.6.2 and 3.6.2 - 4.x) which would cause more work for us. Please let us know of any issues with the above approach.
