Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1658:
---------------------------------------
bq. In the end, I'm unsure if it's a good idea to fold anything into FSD at
all. Too much different stuff in one class becons for spahetti code I assume
your initial aim is to provide users with best impl for current platform
without making them think.
That is my problem with the whole issue, too. For me, the three directory impl
are too different, to be merged together. Especially if writing is also
affected.
Using an additional parameter in the ctor specifying the type of directory is
almost the same like three classes with much cleaner code. The only thing you
do not get is the automatic directory impl choosing for filesystem dirs. But
the solution to this are static factories.
bq. What about static factory that chooses between several impls? We had static
factory before, it stinked because you had to chose impl through system
property, it pooled directories and we had no public constructors. But now we
have public constructors If one needs, he uses constructor directly. If one is
lazy and wants us to choose for him he uses old API, that simply changes
semantics a bit.
That would be great. As the separate public constructors and deprecation of
FSDirectory.open() is new in 2.9, we can change it. Maybe an automatism behind
open() if the System.property is unset would be good. Advanced users may still
instantiate the directories using the public ctor.

> I think whether one uses java.io.* vs java.nio.* or eventually
> java.nio2.*, or some other means, is an under-the-hood implementation
> detail of FSDirectory and doesn't merit a whole separate class.
> I think FSDirectory should be the core class one uses when one's index
> is in the filesystem.
> So, I'd like to deprecate NIOFSDirectory, absorbing it into
> FSDirectory, and add a setting "useNIO" to FSDirectory. It should
> default to "true" for non-Windows OSs, because it gives far better
> concurrent performance on all platforms but Windows (due to known Sun
> JRE issue http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6265734).
