Public Static Methods
  Copy | Copy contents of a directory src to a directory dest. If a file in src already exists in dest then the one in dest will be blindly overwritten. |
Public Instance Methods
| ClearLock | Attempt to clear (forcefully unlock and remove) the specified lock. Only call this at a time when you are certain this lock is no longer in use. |
| Close | Closes the store. |
| CreateOutput | Creates a new, empty file in the directory with the given name. Returns a stream writing this file. |
| DeleteFile | Removes an existing file in the directory. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| FileExists | Returns true iff a file with the given name exists. |
| FileLength | Returns the length of a file in the directory. |
| FileModified | Returns the time the named file was last modified. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetLockFactory | Get the LockFactory that this Directory instance is using for its locking implementation. Note that this may be null for Directory implementations that provide their own locking implementation. |
| GetLockID | Return a string identifier that uniquely differentiates this Directory instance from other Directory instances. This ID should be the same if two Directory instances (even in different JVMs and/or on different machines) are considered "the same index". This is how locking "scopes" to the right index. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| List | Returns an array of strings, one for each file in the directory. This method may return null (for example for {@link FSDirectory} if the underlying directory doesn't exist in the filesystem or there are permissions problems). |
| MakeLock | Construct a {@link Lock}. |
| OpenInput | Overloaded. Returns a stream reading an existing file. |
| RenameFile | Renames an existing file in the directory. If a file already exists with the new name, then it is replaced. This replacement is not guaranteed to be atomic. |
| SetLockFactory | Set the LockFactory that this Directory instance should use for its locking implementation. Each * instance of LockFactory should only be used for one directory (ie, do not share a single instance across multiple Directories). |
| Sync | Ensure that any writes to the file are moved to stable storage. Lucene uses this to properly commit chages to the index, to prevent a machine/OS crash from corrupting the index. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
| TouchFile | Set the modified time of an existing file to now. |
Protected Instance Constructors
Directory Constructor
|
Initializes a new instance of the Directory class. |
Protected Instance Methods
| Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
Protected Internal Instance Fields
 isOpen | |
| lockFactory | Holds the LockFactory instance (implements locking for this Directory instance). |
Protected Internal Instance Methods
 EnsureOpen | Throws AlreadyClosedException if this Directory is closed. |
