isOpen needs to be accessible by subclasses of Directory
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1523
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1523
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Store
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Shon Vella


The Directory abstract class has a member variable named isOpen which is 
package accessible. The usage of the variable is such that it should be 
readable and must be writable (in order to implement close())  by any concrete 
implementation of directory. Because of the current accessibility of this 
variable is is not possible to create a Directory implementation that is not 
also in the org.apache.lucene.store.

I propose that either the isOpen variable either needs to be declared protected 
or that there should be getter/setter methods that are protected.
