Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1658:
---------------------------------------

I am working on this, because I had the same idea. I added an method 
setUseUnmap(boolean) and getter to enable this. This method throws IAE if unmap 
is not supported on the platform.
I also reenabled the IOException on close(), if there was an error during 
unmapping.

Just one additional question: Should I add an additional ctor to the three 
classes, only taking the dir name, this would then be conformant to 
FSDir.open()?

> 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).
