Bernhard Messer commented on LUCENE-475: ---------------------------------------- I like the patch and find it very helpful if one tries to load larger indices into RAMDirectory. Hoss Man, why do you would like to have a new constructor to adjust the internal buffer size. I do not see any reason to make the buffersize configurable from outside. The tests i made with different sizes didn't show any difference on performace or disk usage. The new implementation would be similar to BufferedIndexOutput where the internal buffer size couldn't be changed either. Do i miss something ? > RAMDirectory(Directory dir, boolean closeDir) constructor uses memory > inefficiently. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-475 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-475 > Project: Lucene - Java > Type: Improvement > Components: Store > Reporter: Volodymyr Bychkoviak > Attachments: RamDirectory.diff > > recently I found that RAMDirectory(Directory dir, boolean closeDir) > constructor uses memory inefficiently. > files from source index are read entirely intro memory as single byte array > which is after all is thrown away.
