The two directories won't be synchronized. As the RAMDirectory JavaDocs
say:
Note that the resulting RAMDirectory instance is fully independent from the
original Directory (it is a complete copy). Any subsequent changes to the
originalDirectory will not be visible in the RAMDirectory instance.
So writes using that IndexWriter will only appear in ramDir.
