Has anyone used the advanced NIO interfaces in java? We thought that those should give us increased I/O throughput for things like our log file. When we looked at it about a year ago, our tests didn't show the improvement we were looking for. Anyone have opinions on what is the fastest way to write blocks of data ranging from 32k and down, and requiring sync to disk for each write?
Have you looked at what HOWL is doing?
