Cause the RAMDirectory is not serializable, it's hard to send a index to a remote computer. I think it's kind of tricky, but it would work.
1. Create a fresh new IndexWriter(let's name it toTransfer) with temporary FSDirectory, /usr/tmp/some/directory for example. 2. Invoke the toTransfer.addIndexes(Directory[]) method with your current RAMDirectory, it'll copy your index resides in RAMDirectory to the temporary directory mentioned above. 3. Close the toTransfer index to flush all those modifications. 4. Zip all the files on the temporary directory, and send the zipped file to the remote server. (FTP, HTTP, WevDAV or anything.) 5. As you expected, unzip the received zip file to a temporary directory, like /tmp/indexFromClientA for example. 6. Load the index of the directory /tmp/indexFromClientA and, and you finally got the client's index. You could addIndexes() to your remote machine's FSDirectory based one. As you know, it's NOT a good method, but I think it's the only way to do that.
