serializable RAMDirectory
Is there any implementation of lucene that allows the index to be
portable? It seems pointless that I have to do the indexing operation to
a directory with FSDirectory, and then copy the directory over to the
portable file, and unpack the file whenever I want to search the
directory at another place...
Can anyone help me?

Because I'm embedding the index inside another file...
So that file is self-contained, containing both the payload (which might
not be text) and the index...
But I figured out how to do it already... I just made RAMDirectory and
RAMFile Serializable and create my own build of lucene...

Could you be more specific about what you want that Lucene does not
already provide?
FSDirectory is essentially a serialized RAMDirectory. What do you
mean by "unpack the file"? There is nothing special needed to move
an index from one machine to another, simply copy the entire
directory and use your searching code to refer to its location.
