> The main reason to improve this is that many people get confused about the index not being created if they are so nice to create the directory for H.Search;
> The index is not created and no proper warning is logged.
> There are some other minor improvements needed in FSDirectoryProvider, FSMasterDirectoryProvider initialization and other code about creation of the index directories;
> * code duplication about mkdirs() (move to DirectoryProviderHelper).
> * inconsistent exceptions (sometimes SearchException, sometimes HibernateException for the same problem).
> * Current code already contains some good TODO about checking if it's not a file.
> * Lucene's current versions are able to determine if the index already exists or if a new needs to be created, I would rely on it instead of trying to detect the current state;
>  the flag currently used should be used to force creation.
> * some people on the forums declared sub-dirs in their Index annotation, it works but some checks are skipped (e.g. writability).
