Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4746:
--------------------------------------------
OK, I agree IndexWriter.moveIndices would be a nice addition to
Lucene, and that we'll need to bring back Directory.rename/move to do
it efficiently.
bq. 3.0 formatted indexes with shared doc stores. We shouldnt support this.
+1
bq. I dont want a slow (but safe) addIndexes and a fast (but unsafe)
moveIndexes. So if we do this, i want java7 as a minimum requirement so we can
at least try to create a hard link in Directory.copy() to make addIndexes fast
too.
No matter what moveIndexes will be unsafe right? Meaning if you hit an exc
part way through then some or all of your source indices are corrupt ... the
dest index should be fine though (and, should only reflect all or none of the
additions I think).
+1 for hard link via Dir.copy; that would be nice! Should we just require Java
7 on trunk now...?

> I'd like to make a move method for directory.
> We already have a move for Solr in DirectoryFactory, but it seems it belongs
> at the directory level really.
> The default impl can do a copy and delete, but most implementations will be
> able to optimize to a rename.
> Besides the move we do for Solr (to move a replicated index into place), it
> would also be useful for another feature I'd like to add - the ability to
> merge an index with moves rather than copies. In some cases, you don't
> need/want to copy all the files and could just rename/move them.
