Are you thinking this would just fallback to Directory.fileModified on
the
segments_N file for that commit?

You could actually do that without any API change, because IndexCommit
exposes a getSegmentsFileName().

If it is a RAMDirectory how can we get the lastmodified?

RAMDirectory will report the System.currentTimeMillis() when the file was
last changed.  Is that not sufficient?

Isn't it a lot of overhead to read the file modified time everytime
the timestamp is tobe obtained?

I would think this method does not need to be super fast -- how frequently
are you planning to call it?
Only during a onCommit() or a onInit(). So if the commit point is
passed over multiple times it would call this as many times.Not a big
deal in terms of performance. But it is still some 3-4 lines of code
which could very well be added to the API and exposed as a method
getTimestamp()

OK I'll commit this -- it's trivial. It's simply convenience for calling Directory.fileModified.


Note that the segments_N file has no other means of extracting a timestamp
for itself; it does not store a timestamp internally or anything.
