Erick Erickson resolved LUCENE-1915.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
SPRING_CLEANING_2013 JIRAS. A quick glance at the base FSDirectory class and it
seems like this is already done.
> Add static openInput(File,...) methods to all FSDirectory implementations
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-1915
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1915
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: core/store
> Reporter: Tim Smith
>
> It would be really useful if NIOFSDirectory and MMapDirectory had static
> methods for opening an input for arbitrary Files
> SimpleFSDirectory should likewise have a static openInput(File) method in
> order to cover all basis (right now, SimpleFSIndexInput only has protected
> access
> This allows creating a custom FSDirectory implementation that can use any
> criteria desired to determine what Input implementation to use for opening a
> file.
> I know the FileSwitchDirectory provides some ability to do this, however that
> locks the selection criteria down to only the file extension in use
> also, the FileSwitchDirectory approach seems to want to have each directory
> at different paths (as list() methods just cat the directory listings of the
> sub directories, which could cause havoc if both sub directories point to the
> same FS path?)
> opening up these static openInput() methods would allow creating a custom FS
> store implementation that would could for instance mmap files of a particular
> type and size and use NIO for other files, and mabye even use the SimpleFS
> input for a third category of files. Could also then apply different buffer
> sizes to different files, perform RAM caching of particular inputs, etc
