Varun Thacker updated LUCENE-2793:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2793.patch

I am not sure on the way I have tried to correct the nocommits on how to use 
buffer sizes based on IOContext. Let me know if this is not the correct way of 
doing it or are there any changes required. 

> Directory createOutput and openInput should take an IOContext

> Today for merging we pass down a larger readBufferSize than for searching 
> because we get better performance.
> I think we should generalize this to a class (IOContext), which would hold 
> the buffer size, but then could hold other flags like DIRECT (bypass OS's 
> buffer cache), SEQUENTIAL, etc.
> Then, we can make the DirectIOLinuxDirectory fully usable because we would 
> only use DIRECT/SEQUENTIAL during merging.
> This will require fixing how IW pools readers, so that a reader opened for 
> merging is not then used for searching, and vice/versa.  Really, it's only 
> all the open file handles that need to be different -- we could in theory 
> share del docs, norms, etc, if that were somehow possible.
