Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-1658:
-----------------------------------------
bq. On a couple of projects I've worked in, they were very reluctant to having
packages allocate memory outside the JVM, and that's my understanding of memory
mapped buffers.
mmap does not allocate memory. It allocates address space, and uses the same
disk cache system already has.
For example, you can't cause OOM in your (or another co-existing) app with
mmaps (except eating up your own address space on 32bit systems).

> 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).
