Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5951:
-------------------------------------
I dont think its really a problem at all. its a heuristic for defaults. If
there are bugs in the linux kernel, or virtualizers, or device drivers, its not
our duty to fix that. Please, complain on the linux kernel list instead.
today its a far bigger problem that we always falsely assume you have a
spinning disk, and hurt performance on any modern hardware.
Users can always set their merge threads etc explicitly.

> E.g. ConcurrentMergeScheduler should default maxMergeThreads to 3 if it's on
> SSD and 1 if it's on spinning disks.
> I think the new NIO2 APIs can let us figure out which device we are mounted
> on, and from there maybe we can do os-specific stuff e.g. look at
> /sys/block/dev/queue/rotational to see if it's spinning storage or not ...
