I have a strong desire to remove all these static methods from IR - lastModified, getCurrentVersion, getCommitUserData, indexExists. But haven't found a good place for them yet.
Directory - is a bad place, it shouldn't concern itself with details of what exactly is stored inside, it should think of 'how' it is stored. IndexReader - is bad, it is too heavyweight to be created for getting something simple once. We should probably create some new lightweight class that provides a kind of reflection for the index? Mod dates, versions, userdata, existence, sizes, deletions, whatever. Both per-index and per-segment. Essentially it is a wrapper over SegmentInfos that allows us to keep them hidden (and thus easily changeable), and provides users with more concise and adequate interface.
