> Some formats use an internal versioning system -- for example {{CompressingStoredFieldsFormat}} maintains older logic for reading an on-heap fields index. Because we always allow reading segments from the current + previous major version, some users still rely on the read-side logic of older internal versions.
> Although the older version logic is covered by {{TestBackwardsCompatibility}}, it looks like it's not exercised in unit tests. Older versions aren't "in rotation" when choosing a random codec for tests. They also don't have dedicated unit tests as we have for separate older formats, for example {{TestLucene60PointsFormat}}.
> It could be good to improve unit test coverage for the older versions, since they're in active use. A downside is that it's not straightforward to add unit tests, since we tend to just change/ delete the old write-side logic as we bump internal versions.
