Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3218:
--------------------------------------------
I think both Simon's and Uwe's ideas are good and should be explored! With all
these ideas we will find a clean way to get CFS reading/writing integrated into
Directory.
But I think that exploration should just be outside of trunk and 3.x, eg on a
branch. Once we iterate to a good point again we can commit it back to trunk,
let it bake/age, then merge back to 3.x if it seems stable.

> Currently CFS is created once all files are written during a flush / merge.
> Once on disk the files are copied into the CFS format which is basically a
> unnecessary for some of the files. We can at any time write at least one file
> directly into the CFS which can save a reasonable amount of IO. For instance
> stored fields could be written directly during indexing and during a Codec
> Flush one of the written files can be appended directly. This optimization is
> a nice sideeffect for lucene indexing itself but more important for DocValues
> and LUCENE-3216 we could transparently pack per field files into a single
> file only for docvalues without changing any code once LUCENE-3216 is
> resolved.
