Class FSDirectory

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.store.Directory

org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory

Direct Known Subclasses:

AlfrescoFSDirectory

public class FSDirectory
extends org.apache.lucene.store.Directory

Straightforward implementation of Directory as a directory of files. Locking implementation is by default the SimpleFSLockFactory, but can be changed either by passing in a LockFactory instance to getDirectory, or specifying the LockFactory class by setting org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectoryLockFactoryClass Java system property, or by calling Directory.setLockFactory(org.apache.lucene.store.LockFactory) after creating the Directory.

Directories are cached, so that, for a given canonical path, the same FSDirectory instance will always be returned by getDirectory. This permits synchronization on directories.

Modifier and Type

Field and Description

static String

LOCK_DIR Deprecated. As of 2.1, LOCK_DIR is unused because the write.lock is now stored by default in the index directory. If you really want to store locks elsewhere you can create your own SimpleFSLockFactory (or NativeFSLockFactory, etc.) passing in your preferred lock directory. Then, pass this LockFactory instance to one of the getDirectory methods that take a lockFactory (for example, getDirectory(String, LockFactory)).

Field Detail

LOCK_DIR

public static final String LOCK_DIR

Deprecated. As of 2.1, LOCK_DIR is unused because the write.lock is now stored by default in the index directory. If you really want to store locks elsewhere you can create your own SimpleFSLockFactory (or NativeFSLockFactory, etc.) passing in your preferred lock directory. Then, pass this LockFactory instance to one of the getDirectory methods that take a lockFactory (for example, getDirectory(String, LockFactory)).

Directory specified by org.apache.lucene.lockDir or java.io.tmpdir system property.

Constructor Detail

FSDirectory

protected FSDirectory()

Method Detail

setDisableLocks

public static void setDisableLocks(boolean doDisableLocks)

Set whether Lucene's use of lock files is disabled. By default, lock files are enabled. They should only be disabled if the index is on a read-only medium like a CD-ROM.

getDisableLocks

public static boolean getDisableLocks()

Returns whether Lucene's use of lock files is disabled.

Returns:

true if locks are disabled, false if locks are enabled.
