> We should change the format of strings written to indexes so that the length of the string is in bytes, not Java characters.  This issue has been discussed at:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/java-dev@lucene.apache.org/msg01970.html
> We must increment the file format number to indicate this change.  At least the format number in the segments file should change.
> I'm targetting this for 2.1, i.e., we shouldn't commit it to trunk until after 2.0 is released, to minimize incompatible changes between 1.9 and 2.0 (other than removal of deprecated features).
