I think this would be useful enough to make it available in RAMDirectory or Directory? Quite a few users seem to load the entire index into a RAMDirectory.

We already have static Directory.copy method, which is very similar.

Hi Mike, that was clear from the beginning, I have asked u bit clumsy.

What I really wanted to ask, given it is not already possible: does this make sense to provide it as a patch. It sound to me rather "narrow" to be useful for wider community, but on the other side having efficient way to re-sync (unidirectional) RAMDirectory with FSDirectory sounds like a nice feature.

we will eventually do it, so if anyone has an interest just shout

Since Lucene is write-once, this should be fairly simple to do.  You
just list the files, remove any that are now gone, copy over any new
files?

short one, maybe stupid question:

use case,
- you load your index from Disk into RAMDisk
- Use it in read only mode (no modifications on RAMDisk index)
- Update on disk index from another, external process
- reload only changes into RAM instead of reloading complete index

is there any way to do this?
