Thank you for your quick answer.
I agree that create=true indicates that it's ok to overwrite. But when
create=false and the index does not exists, I get a FileNotFoundException.
I expected something like java.io.FileOutputStream 'append' flag :
false = overwrite
true = If the file exists, use it. If not, create an empty one
The choice of the constructor does not depend on "Does that file exist ?" but
rather on "Do I overwrite a possibly existing file ?".

I think the 'create' flag really indicates whether it's ok
to *overwrite* the *possibly*existing* index.
Despite the tricky nuance it works great.
