Dmitry,
It would be cleaner if this could be done entirely as a Directory implementation. I know some folks who've implemented a filesystem-within-a-file solution for this problem that they're very happy with. It is a Directory, and requires no changes to Lucene. I'll ask them if they're willing to contribute it, so that others can use it.
That would be great! I thought about doing this at the directory level, but I wasn't sure how to handle re-writing of multi-file segments into single-file segments once the IndexWriter is closed. I'd like to avoid dealing with file fragmentation, so I like having multiple files during IndexWriter operation. But if there is a ready-made solution that does deal with fragmentation, I guess that would work just fine.
Dmitry.
