Index copy

Whats the bestway to copy an index from one directory to another? I
tried opening an IndexWriter at the new location and used addIndexes to
read from the old index. But that was very slow. 

Thanks in advance,
Ravi.

You could lock your index for writes, then copy the file using
operating system copy commands.

Another way would be to lock your index, make a filesystem snapshot,
then unlock your index.  You can then safely copy the snapshot without
interupting further index operations.
