There is versioning inside the FST, but thats only a part of the suggester format. We've changed the suggester formats in incompatible ways before: their is no backwards compatibility guarantee for suggesters and we don't test that. mainly FST (unfortunately) has backwards compatibility because parts of the official index format use it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
