Hi,
I checked the Lucene Core 4.8 code. In fact it does not create the
directory. The comment is just bogus. I removed it in Lucene 4.10:
http://svn.apache.org/r1657033
In Lucene 5, the move to Java NIO.2 now creates the direczory in the ctor.
This is in my opinion wrong to do, so I started a discussion. In fact, Mike
McCandless stated, that there was already a bug open about this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1464
The thread is CC'ed to the dev@lucenenet list.
