hi Pulkit, no that's not a bug, as the javadoc explains it's going to copy the given Directory in the RAMDirectory but they are independent. You could use Directory.copy(source, dest, boolean) to copy it from ram to the source Directory when you're done with the changes, but I'd recommend to use the FSDirectory directly if you need persistence.
