Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5951:
---------------------------------------
Yeah, looks good. Maybe just add a reference to the new method in the
introduction: "To enable default settings for spinning or solid state disks for
other operating systems, use {@link #setDefaultMaxMergesAnThreads(boolean)}."
I am currently investigating detection for windows, but its unlikely that we
can detect SSDs there without native code or spawning processes (no file system
with device data). But I think, for MacOSX there may be a similar solution?
I'll investigate.

> 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 ...
