[jsword-devel] Lucene upgrade

[Sijo Cherian]

I started with changing jsword usage of Lucene api to latest in 4.x (I
think this is the easier piece & I am close to 75%).

Issue is with existing index upgrade. Currently we're using Lucene 3.0.3,
but index is build with 2.9. The 4.x lets you read older version index upto
3.0. If I can figure out difference between 2.9 vs 3.0 version, then we can
decide if a hop to lucene 3.6 is necessary. I want to dig a little more
into it, before a full blown discussion inside this version universe.

I am hoping to provide a transition phase (using config or two plugin
option), so that existing index is not forced to upgrade. If we keep
content of current field unchanged, it will reduce one variable.

Meanwhile if you guys can test the indexversion upgrade pullreq (
https://github.com/crosswire/jsword/pull/79) & see if it meets the
requirements of atleast your respective app's index upgrades, that will be
great.
In AndBible's usecase, it should help to prompt user to rebuild/download
index of the one book (that is being search).
