If you load an existing disk index into a RAMDirectory, make some changes in RAM and call addIndexes to add the contents of the RAMDirectory to the original disk index, you are likely to end up with duplicate data on disk. Depending of course on what you've done to the RAM index.
Sounds you want to call addIndexes using a writer on a new, empty, index or overwrite the original. IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode CREATE. -- Ian.
