Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3269:
-------------------------------------

Hi Shai: a couple suggestions.

With the current patch we will never close these directories, so we lose some test coverage like the CheckIndex at the end...
I think these tests caught a serious JRE bug in this checkindex so i'd like to keep it.

Additionally we have a problem I think if we randomly get a FSDirectory, especially on windows.

So how about we build up a RAMdir and cache it? when topK tests start up they could do something like this:

{noformat}
   Directory dir = newDirectory(random, getCachedDir());
   ...
   dir.close();
{noformat}

where getCachedDir is the access to the cache (if it doesnt exist, it builds it, and its always a ramdir).
(LuceneTestCase already has newDirectory(random, Directory) that copies from an existing directory)

> usually we would do this with use of atLeast(), but these tests are somewhat tricky,
> so maybe a different approach is needed.
