Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-1672:
-----------------------------------------

bq. And DirectoryIR/MSR still have this Flag, but reopening a MSR always 
returns a MSR again (even if it only consists of one segment)?
Exactly.

> During investigation of LUCENE-1658, I found out, that even LUCENE-1453 is 
> not completely fixed.
> As 1658 deprecates all FSDirectory.getDirectory() static factories, we should 
> not use them anymore. As the user is now free to choose the correct directory 
> implementation using direct instantiation or using FSDir.open() he should no 
> longer use all ctors/methods in IndexWriter/IndexReader/IndexSearcher & Co. 
> that simply take path names as String or File and always instantiate the 
> Directory himself.
> LUCENE-1453 currently works for the cached directory implementations from 
> FSDir.getDirectory, but not with uncached, non refcounting FSDirs. Sometime 
> reopen() closes the directory (as far as I see, when a SegmentReader changes 
> to a MultiSegmentReader and/or deletes apply). This is hard to track. In 
> Lucene 3.0 we then can remove the whole bunch of closeDirectory 
> parameters/fields in these classes and simply do not care anymore about 
> closing directories.
> To remove this closeDirectory parameter now (before 3.0) and also fix 1453 
> correctly, an additional idea would be to change these factories that take 
> the File/String to return the IndexReader wrapped by a FilteredIndexReader, 
> that keeps track on closing the underlying directory after close and reopen. 
> This is simplier than passing this boolean between different 
> DirectoryIndexReader instances. The small performance impact by wrapping with 
> FilterIndexReader should not be so bad, because the method is deprecated and 
> we can state, that it is better to user the factory method with Directory 
> parameter.
