Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4746:
--------------------------------------------

I'm not sure we should do this: I think Directory should have only he methods necessary for Lucene, and we should minimize those methods as much as possible.

We used to have 'rename' and we removed it because it was problematic in some cases.

> I'd like to make a move method for directory.
> We already have a move for Solr in DirectoryFactory, but it seems it belongs at the directory level really.
> The default impl can do a copy and delete, but most implementations will be able to optimize to a rename.
> Besides the move we do for Solr (to move a replicated index into place), it would also be useful for another feature I'd like to add - the ability to merge an index with moves rather than copies. In some cases, you don't need/want to copy all the files and could just rename/move them.
