Yakob the boolean in the constructor should be true if you want to create a
NEW index in INDEX_DIR and false to append to an existing one as seen here
[1]
As for adding a directory to an index you will need to validate the
directory, then loop through it recursively and add each doc to the writer
you created.
static void indexDocs(IndexWriter writer, File file)
