Michael Poindexter commented on LUCENE-4848:
--------------------------------------------
bq. We should benchmark the "fixed" NIOFSDirectory on windows to check, if the
locking issues still exist.
Im fairly certain they will since it's basically a Windows API issue. In the
Windows API one there is no call to read at a given position without doing a
seek unless you are doing overlapped IO (hence asynchronous). Since there's
only one FD shared across threads with the NIOFSDirectory it will have to
synchronize on it. The bug mentioned in the NIOFSDirectory javadoc actually
suggests to use the AsynchronousFileChannel on Windows to work around the
internal synchronization issue :-)
bq. If we want to add AsyncFSDirectory again, we should do this only next to
WindowsDirectory in the misc module.
Doesn't matter to me where it lives.

> I have implemented 3 Directory subclasses using NIO2 API's (available on
> JDK7). These may be suitable for inclusion in a Lucene contrib module.
> See the mailing list at http://lucene.markmail.org/thread/lrv7miivzmjm3ml5
> for more details about this code and the advantages it provides.
> The code is attached as a zip to this issue. I'll be happy to make any
> changes requested. I've included some minimal smoke tests, but any help in
> how to use the normal Lucene tests to perform more thorough testing would be
> appreciated.
