As I said before though, i wouldn't mind if we had something more like a
'modules/native' and FSDirectory checked, if this was available and
automagically used it...
but I can't see myself thinking that we should put this logic into fsdir
itself, sorry.

I'm perfectly OK with that approach (having some module FSDir checks). I also
feel uneasy having JNI in core.
What I don't want to see, is Directory impls that you can't use on their own.
If you can only use it for merging, then it's not a Directory, it breaks the
contract! - move the code elsewhere.

> Today for merging we pass down a larger readBufferSize than for searching
> because we get better performance.
> I think we should generalize this to a class (IOContext), which would hold
> the buffer size, but then could hold other flags like DIRECT (bypass OS's
> buffer cache), SEQUENTIAL, etc.
> Then, we can make the DirectIOLinuxDirectory fully usable because we would
> only use DIRECT/SEQUENTIAL during merging.
> This will require fixing how IW pools readers, so that a reader opened for
> merging is not then used for searching, and vice/versa. Really, it's only
> all the open file handles that need to be different -- we could in theory
> share del docs, norms, etc, if that were somehow possible.
