Field Detail

LOCK_DIR

public static final java.lang.String LOCK_DIR

Directory specified by org.apache.lucene.lockDir or java.io.tmpdir system property

Constructor Detail

FSDirectory

protected FSDirectory()

Method Detail

setDisableLocks

public static void setDisableLocks(boolean doDisableLocks)

Set whether Lucene's use of lock files is disabled. By default, lock files are enabled. They should only be disabled if the index is on a read-only medium like a CD-ROM.

getDisableLocks

public static boolean getDisableLocks()

Returns whether Lucene's use of lock files is disabled.

Returns:

true if locks are disabled, false if locks are enabled.

getDirectory

public static FSDirectory getDirectory(java.lang.String path,
                                       boolean create)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Returns the directory instance for the named location.

Directories are cached, so that, for a given canonical path, the same FSDirectory instance will always be returned. This permits synchronization on directories.

Parameters:

path - the path to the directory.

create - if true, create, or erase any existing contents.

Returns:

the FSDirectory for the named file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getDirectory

public static FSDirectory getDirectory(java.io.File file,
                                       boolean create)
                                throws java.io.IOException

Returns the directory instance for the named location.

Directories are cached, so that, for a given canonical path, the same FSDirectory instance will always be returned. This permits synchronization on directories.

Parameters:

file - the path to the directory.

create - if true, create, or erase any existing contents.

Returns:

the FSDirectory for the named file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
