-------------------------------------
Hey Varun - saw you asked for someone with a mac to run some code for you in
IRC but you popped off before I saw - what do you need? Just apply the patch
and run the tests?
> Genericize DirectIOLinuxDir -> UnixDir

> Today DirectIOLinuxDir is tricky/dangerous to use, because you only want to
> use it for indexWriter and not IndexReader (searching). It's a trap.
> But, once we do LUCENE-2793, we can make it fully general purpose because
> then a single native Dir impl can be used.
> I'd also like to make it generic to other Unices, if we can, so that it
> becomes UnixDirectory.
