Yeah, looks good. Maybe just add a reference to the new method in the 
introduction:

{noformat}To enable default settings for spinning or solid state disks for other
operating systems, use {@link #setDefaultMaxMergesAnThreads(boolean)}.{noformat}

I am currently investigating detection for windows, but its unlikely that we 
can detect SSDs there without native code or spawning processes (no file system 
with device data). But I think, for MacOSX there may be a similar solution? 
I'll investigate.

> E.g. ConcurrentMergeScheduler should default maxMergeThreads to 3 if it's on 
> SSD and 1 if it's on spinning disks.
> I think the new NIO2 APIs can let us figure out which device we are mounted 
> on, and from there maybe we can do os-specific stuff e.g. look at  
> /sys/block/dev/queue/rotational to see if it's spinning storage or not ...
