---------------------------------------
Hi,
the patch is OK. But I have no strong opinion about this - I just would not use
it, but anybody has the option now, so +1
We should just not make this the default or suggest anywhere to turn it on by
default! The problem si: You have to load the data anywaysand I would prefer to
do it as needed for faster startup time. It is also very bad for users who have
not enough physical RAM, because it would load the stuff, invalidate a lot of
active cache pages and then other stuff gets slower. I think the O/S does good
job in paging, sorry! A short delay for some queries returning many results is
not a problem for me (my personal opinion). But invalidating cache pages of
more important stuff is bad.

> Patch to expose MappedByteBuffer.load() as a simple boolean option.
> This can be used as an alternative to copy-into-RAMDirectory.
> Users who want sophisticated logic about this can use FileSwitchDirectory or
> other methods.
