I am also having a similar requirement .But its other way round. Basically ,I have indexes in FSDirectory and which is transferred to another machine on regular basis. But now for the reason of faster searches, it would be better to copy the indexes onto RAM. (RAMDirectory).
Not sure of how it can be achieved.
