So, my question: why is the compound file storage implemented in such an orthogonal to Directory way instead of just being another Directory implementation called FSCompoundFileDirectory ?
To combine the files of a segment we need to know when the segment was complete. So a method would need to be added to Directory to instruct it when to combine files. And then the Directory would need to be able to locate files within the combined file in order to open them.
It would be a shame to re-invent this logic for each Directory implementation, so the indexing code has a generic implementation layered on top of Directory. Does that make sense?
