Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2795:
--------------------------------------------
Also, we should run some more tests here, on modern kernels, since the
SEQUENTIAL fadvise flag is better implemented in kernels >= 2.6.29; see this

It could be, if kernel is new enough, we should not do DIRECT and instead do
SEQUENTIAL.

> 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.
