MemoryIndex(Reader), IndexReader, and SegmentReader

[Otis Gospodnetic <ot...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Short version:
Should MemoryIndex (more precisely, MemoryIndexReader inside MemoryIndex.java) 
be using something like SegmentReader instead of extending IndexReader and 
hitting the exception below?

Background:
I'm working with some code that uses MemoryIndex and some nasty queries, some of 
which throw exceptions like the one below:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: This reader does not support this 
method.
at org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.directory(IndexReader.java:612)
...
... some custom WildcardTermEnum classes ...
... some sustom SpanWildcardQuery classes ...

at org.apache.lucene.index.memory.MemoryIndex.search(MemoryIndex.java:421)

I did a bit of digging and I'm wondering if the following bit from 
MemoryIndex.java might be a problem:

  private final class MemoryIndexReader extends IndexReader {

This MemoryIndexReader doesn't override IndexReader's directory() method, which 
is where the above exception comes from:

  public Directory directory() {
    ensureOpen();
    throw new UnsupportedOperationException("This reader does not support this 
method.");  // line 612
  }

Thanks,
Otis
