## Class RAFDirectory

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.store.Directory
  - - org.apache.lucene.store.BaseDirectory

      - - org.apache.lucene.store.RAFDirectory

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

      public class RAFDirectory
      extends FSDirectory

  A straightforward implementation of `FSDirectory` using java.io.RandomAccessFile. However, this class has poor concurrent performance (multiple threads will bottleneck) as it synchronizes when multiple threads read from the same file. It's usually better to use `NIOFSDirectory` or `MMapDirectory` instead.

  NOTE: Because this uses RandomAccessFile, it will generally not work with non-default filesystem providers. It is only provided for applications that relied on the fact that RandomAccessFile's IO was not interruptible.
