When creating an index, FSDirectory assumes that the directory has no subdirectories. If a non-empty subdirectory is present, FSDirectory.create fails to delete it and throws an IOException. As the subdirectory is not a Lucene index file (although in my case it is a Lucene sub-index), the method actually has no business attempting to delete it at all. Can this behaviour please be changed so that it doesn't attempt to delete subdirectories in an index location at all?
