You can always index into RAMDirectory for speed then synchronize those
changes to the disk by adding the RAMDirectory to a FSDirectory at some
point. Here is a simple example of how to do that:
public void save( RAMDirectory ram, File dir ) {
FSDirectory fs = FSDirectory.open( dir );
IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter( fs, ... );
try {
writer.addIndexes( ram );
} finally {
writer.close();
}
}

.)
