public class RAMDirectory extends Directory
Directory implementation.  Locking
 implementation is by default the SingleInstanceLockFactory
 but can be changed with Directory.setLockFactory(org.apache.lucene.store.LockFactory).
 
 Warning: This class is not intended to work with huge
 indexes. Everything beyond several hundred megabytes will waste
 resources (GC cycles), because it uses an internal buffer size
 of 1024 bytes, producing millions of byte[1024] arrays.
 This class is optimized for small memory-resident indexes.
 It also has bad concurrency on multithreaded environments.
 
 
It is recommended to materialize large indexes on disk and use
 MMapDirectory, which is a high-performance directory
 implementation working directly on the file system cache of the
 operating system, so copying data to Java heap space is not useful.

public RAMDirectory()
Directory.public RAMDirectory(Directory dir, IOContext context) throws IOException
RAMDirectory instance from a different
 Directory implementation.  This can be used to load
 a disk-based index into memory.
 
 Warning: This class is not intended to work with huge
 indexes. Everything beyond several hundred megabytes will waste
 resources (GC cycles), because it uses an internal buffer size
 of 1024 bytes, producing millions of byte[1024] arrays.
 This class is optimized for small memory-resident indexes.
 It also has bad concurrency on multithreaded environments.
 
 
For disk-based indexes it is recommended to use
 MMapDirectory, which is a high-performance directory
 implementation working directly on the file system cache of the
 operating system, so copying data to Java heap space is not useful.
 
 
Note that the resulting RAMDirectory instance is fully
 independent from the original Directory (it is a
 complete copy).  Any subsequent changes to the
 original Directory will not be visible in the
 RAMDirectory instance.
