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.

Ok, I am working on a version that would limit the changes to the Directory class, but this directory would have to make certain assumptions about the names of the files (whereas right now it doesn't care). It would have to differentiate the segments file, the deleted documents file(s?), and the other segment files. It would also have to assume that the part before the last "." in a file name is the segment name. Does this sound better than the other idea?
Dmitry.
