             Summary: Directory.copy -> Directory.copyFrom
                 Key: LUCENE-6146
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6146
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Muir


Spinoff of LUCENE-4746.

This method is currently:
{code}
copy(Directory to, String src, String dest, IOContext context)
{code}

But it would be better to restructure this so the destination directory is the 
one actually being changed by the operation:
{code}
copyFrom(Directory from, String src, String dest, IOContext context)
{code}

Besides fixing the order to make sense, adding it to the name might help 
prevent bugs like the current TrackingDirectoryWrapper impl (used by 
IndexWriter to track what files are used):

{code}
public void copy(Directory to, String src, String dest, IOContext context) 
throws IOException {
  createdFileNames.add(dest); // BUG!
  in.copy(to, src, dest, context);
}
{code}
