Add org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory()
------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-2076
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2076
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Store
Affects Versions: 3.0
Reporter: George Aroush
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.0
On the Apache Lucene.Net side, we have done some clean up with the upcoming
2.9.1 such that we are now depreciating improperly use of parameter type for
some public APIs. When we release 3.0, those depreciated code will be removed.
One area where we had difficulty with required us to add a new method like so:
Lucene.Net.Store.FSDirectory.GetDirectory(). This method does the same thing
as Lucene.Net.Store.FSDirectory.GetFile(). This was necessary because we
switched over from using System.IO.FileInfo to System.IO.DirectoryInfo. Why?
In the .NET world, a file and a directory are two different things.
Why did we have to add Lucene.Net.Store.FSDirectory.GetDirectory()? Because we
can't change the return type of Lucene.Net.Store.FSDirectory.GetFile() and
still remain backward compatible (API wise) to be depreciated with the next
release.
Why ask for Java Lucene to add
org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.getDirectory()? To keep the APIs 1-to-1 in
par with Java Lucene and Lucene.Net.
