IndexReader.open(File, readOnly)

[Emmanuel Bernard <em...@hibernate.org>]

Hello
I was converting some code to 2.4 and realized that there is no "read- 
only" version for the open method taking File as a parameter.
Is that intentional? Should I open a JIRA issue?

Well... I didn't add it (and open(String path, boolean readOnly))  
because I was hoping to keep the combinatoric explosion in check (eg  
IndexWriter's ctors scare me).

Also, looking forward to 3.0, when the plan is to have  
IndexReader.open return a readOnly reader by default, I think it  
should only be the complex/expert methods that take a readOnly param,  
on the thinking that most users would not need to change it.

But I don't feel very strongly about it -- if you think we need two  
more IndexReader.open's, I don't mind adding it...
