    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `ExitableDirectoryReader` The `ExitableDirectoryReader` wraps a real index `DirectoryReader` and allows for a `QueryTimeout` implementation object to be checked periodically to see if the thread should exit or not.
    `class` | `FilterDirectoryReader` A FilterDirectoryReader wraps another DirectoryReader, allowing implementations to transform or extend it.
    `class` | `SoftDeletesDirectoryReaderWrapper` This reader filters out documents that have a doc values value in the given field and treat these documents as soft deleted.
    `class` | `StandardDirectoryReader` Default implementation of `DirectoryReader`.

    Fields in org.apache.lucene.index declared as DirectoryReader
