RE : new release: 1.4-rc1

[Rasik Pandey]

Hello,

Regarding the attached mail, do you think there is a possibility to pass a directory 
path to FSDirectory to use as its lock directory?

Title: RE : FSDirectory.lockDir and recent Lock changes

Hello,

Exactly...

So then what is the reasoning behind the "!lockDir.isAbsolute())" statement below? Why can't this directory be relative?

private FSDirectory(File path, boolean create) throws IOException {
    directory = path;

   lockDir = new File(LOCK_DIR);
   if (!lockDir.isAbsolute()) {
     lockDir = new File(directory, LOCK_DIR);
   }
    if (create)
      create();

    if (!directory.isDirectory())
      throw new IOException(path + " not a directory");
  }

Do you think this raise any backward compatibility concerns?
