Hi Jörg,

Does ES allow switching from file-based store to memory-based store without 
re-indexing? We used to use file-based store to run a batch index, then 
switch to read-only memory-based index when using Lucene directly. We've 
found that read-only RAMDirectory is 20% faster than MmapDirecotry. That's 
why we still want to use the similar type of configuration when switching 
from Lucene to ES.

Thanks,
-Mark
