> On LUCENE-4848 a new directory implementation was proposed that uses
> AsyncFileChannel to make a sync-less directory implementation (only needed
> for IndexInput). The problem on Windows is that positional reads are
> impossible without overlapping (async) I/O, so FileChannel in the JDK has to
> syncronize all reads, because they consist of an atomic seek and atomic read.
> AsyncFSDirectoty would not have this issue, but has to take care of thread
> management, because you need a separate thread to get notified when the read
> is done. This involves overhead, but might still be better than the
> synchronization.
