This may be unlikely, but if it happens, it will be a serious problem if lucene cannot write a file, because there is some directory.

So if your site has /root/foo /root/foo/bar the index for documents in /root/foo goes to /indices/foo/lucene-index and for /root/foo/bar to /indices/foo/bar/lucene-index.
