Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-1451:
--------------------------------------

A bit of history, if any care.

Originally Lucene synchronized only on the Directory to coordinate index 
writes.  This was the primary motivation for the Directory cache.

Later, lock files were added, but Directory synchronization remained as an 
optimization, to avoid hitting the filesystem when coordinating threads in the 
same process.

Now Directory-based synchronization has been dropped entirely, so the Directory 
cache can now go too.
