> Originally, the sun.misc.Cleaner interface was declared as "critical API" in
> [JEP 260|http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/260 ]
> Unfortunately the decission was changed in favor of a oficially supported
> {{java.lang.ref.Cleaner}} API. A side effect of this change is to move all
> existing {{sun.misc.Cleaner}} APIs into a non-exported package. This causes
> our forceful unmapping to no longer work, because we can get the cleaner
> instance via reflection, but trying to invoke it will throw one of the new
> Jigsaw RuntimeException because it is completely inaccessible. This will make
> our forceful unmapping fail. There are also no changes in Garbage collector,
> the problem still exists.
> For more information see this [mailing list
> thread|http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2016-January/thread.html#38243].
> This commit will likely be done, making our unmapping efforts no longer
> working. Alan Bateman is aware of this issue and will open a new issue at
> OpenJDK to allow forceful unmapping without using the now private
> sun.misc.Cleaner. The idea is to let the internal class sun.misc.Cleaner
> implement the Runable interface, so we can simply cast to runable and call
> the run() method to unmap. The code would then work. This will lead to minor
> changes in our unmapper in MMapDirectory: An instanceof check and casting if
> possible.
> I opened this issue to keep track and implement the changes as soon as
> possible, so people will have working unmapping when java 9 comes out.
> Current Lucene versions will no longer work with Java 9.
