If the index was created using ES prior to version 0.19.8, which it
sounds like it was, you won't be able to use the files on disk.
You'll have to either reindex from source data or create source data
directly from Lucene.

However, if you are using 0.19.8 and this still happened, then it
might be a bug. Support was added for recognizing an index on disk
and handling just such a case.
