Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2282:
--------------------------------------------
Patch looks good Shai!
But I don't think we should back port to 3.0.2 -- it's non-trivial
enough that there is some risk?
As the API is now marked @lucene.internal, and it'll only be very
expert usage, I'm not as concerned as Marvin is about the risks of
even exposing this. Also, even with flex, a good number of Lucene's
index files are not under codec control (codec only touches postings
files -- .tis, .tii, .frq, .prx for the standard codec). But I do
agree it's not ideal that the knowledge of file extensions is split
across this class and the codec. The IndexFileNameFilter in flex now
takes a Codec as input, to make up for that... but IndexFileNames just
has a NOTE at the top stating the limitation.
> Expose IndexFileNames as public, and make use of its methods in the code

> IndexFileNames is useful for applications that extend Lucene, an in
> particular those who extend Directory or IndexWriter. It provides useful
> constants and methods to query whether a certain file is a core Lucene file
> or not. In addition, IndexFileNames should be used by Lucene's code to
> generate segment file names, or query whether a certain file matches a
> certain extension.
> I'll post the patch shortly.
