Porting from Solr 1.3 to 3.5

2012-06-07 Thread Ramprakash Ramamoorthy 
I am porting my app from lucene 2.X(solr 1.3) to lucene 3.X(solr 3.5). The
following is my issue.

This one was valid in 2.X, but 3.5 throws me an error.

IndexReader reader = IndexReader.open(/home/path/to/my/dataDir);

2.X accepted a string, but 3.5 strictly wants a Directory object. I find
Directory to be abstract and the only way to instantiate it seems a
RAMDirectory().

How do I go about this and how do I point my reader to the desired
directory?


P.S : Our application needs a custom logic this way and hence instead of
going with cores, we do it this way.

I was able to do it. I just did it this way

IndexReader reader = new SimpleFSDirectory(new File(my/desired/path));

Thanks for your time.
