---------------------------------------
Hi Mike,
I am OK with that. I would only add one other addition: "For all other
operating systems it currently assumes a rotational disk for backwards
compatibility."
Another idea: we should maybe add special convenience setter to set optimal
settings. By that, you don't rely on the auto detection and still can set
"automatic" settings for both types of drives:
- {{setMaxMergesAndThreads(int maxMergeCount, int maxThreadCount)}} (expert)
- {{setDefaultMergesAndThreads(boolean optimizeForNonRotational)}} (convenience)

> 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 ...
