What exactly do you mean by "fresh index created for the first time"? Ie, does opening an IndexWriter with create=true over a Directory that previously had a Lucene index not count as "fresh" for some reason? (If so, then it sounds like generation==1 is the test you want). What's the use

If you create IndexWriter with create=true in a directory that has no Lucene index, segments_1 is created. If you do the same, but in a directory that already has a Lucene index, segments_(N+1) is created (where N was the last generation of the current index in that directory). But... t
