René Treffer commented on LUCENE-2799:
--------------------------------------
Ah, right, but FileSwitchDirectory won't solve my problems either as every file
is in a different directory. A set of MMapDirectories + delegation might help
here.
But it would still be nice if MMapDirectory would either be final or extension
safe. Or if the implicit no-exension policy of openInput would be made explicit
with a final tag.
> MMapDirectory not designed for inheritance

> Key: LUCENE-2799
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2799
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 3.0.3
> Reporter: René Treffer
>
> How to reproduce
> Try to inherit from MMapDirectory to change the openInput logic (open files
> from different directories).
> Expected result:
> Inherit from MMapDirectory, overwrite the one method, done.
> Actual result:
> It's impossible to overwrite the method as the inner classes would be
> missing. It's impossible to fork the inner classes as they depend on a final
> method with default visibility (cleanMapping).
> It turns out to be the easiest option to completely for the code and replace
> just the method in question.
> Possible fix:
> Change the visibility of most members and subtypes to be at least protected
> and avoid the default visibility.
