Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1658:
--------------------------------------------
OK so I think FSDir.open should default to MMapDir on 64 bit machine,
NIOFSDir on non-windows machines, and SimpleFSDir on windows 32 bit
machines. I'll rev the patch.
Next question: does anyone know how to reliably determine if the
running JRE is 32 or 64 bit? I found this:

but I'm worried about how portable that solution is...

> I think whether one uses java.io.* vs java.nio.* or eventually
> java.nio2.*, or some other means, is an under-the-hood implementation
> detail of FSDirectory and doesn't merit a whole separate class.
> I think FSDirectory should be the core class one uses when one's index
> is in the filesystem.
> So, I'd like to deprecate NIOFSDirectory, absorbing it into
> FSDirectory, and add a setting "useNIO" to FSDirectory. It should
> default to "true" for non-Windows OSs, because it gives far better
> concurrent performance on all platforms but Windows (due to known Sun
> JRE issue http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6265734).
