Description

There is a problem when you try to create a directory (FSDirectory) that doesn't exists and you
specified a path with a depth greater than 1.

For example: lucia/index/

The problem
lays on the method
private synchronized void create() throws IOException {
if
(!directory.exists())
directory.mkdir(); <======== HERE SHOULD BE mkdirs();

String[] files = directory.list(); // clear old files
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)

{ File file = new File(directory, files[i]); if (!file.delete()) throw new IOException("couldn't delete " + files[i]); }

}
