Caching of FSDirs was completely removed
I think this must wait until 3.0, ie when we remove all getDirectory
methods.

I am currently playing with this. For the end-user it is not really needed,
that directories are cached. Even if he gets a directory that it is cached, he
can see it as a alone one. he can close it (because of refcounting and so on)
and do everything, he can do with a single directory, too.
So whay is it not backwards compatible, wen we remove caching. All tests pass
here!
More, the mixing of cached and uncached dirs bring more problems (I am
currently investigating).
I will supply a new patch shortly, with all other bugs fixed (there were more,
e.g. with some tests in _TestHelper and so on). The move from FSDir to
SimpleFSDir is more complicated than it seems. In my opinion, it would be a
question, if *this* move should wait until 3.0.

> 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).
