Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-2793:
-----------------------------------------
As mentioned @LUCENE-3092, it would be nice not to include the OneMerge, but
some meaningful value like 'expectedSize', 'expectedSegmentSize' or whatnot,
that would work both for merges *and* flushes, and also won't introduce
needless dependency on MergePolicy.

> 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.
