MMapDirectory should only mmap large files, small files should be opened using 
SimpleFS/NIOFS

                 Key: LUCENE-1743
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1743
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Store
    Affects Versions: 2.9
            Reporter: Uwe Schindler
            Assignee: Uwe Schindler
             Fix For: 3.1


This is a followup to LUCENE-1741:
Javadocs state (in FileChannel#map): "For most operating systems, mapping a 
file into memory is more expensive than reading or writing a few tens of 
kilobytes of data via the usual read and write methods. From the standpoint of 
performance it is generally only worth mapping relatively large files into 
memory."
MMapDirectory should get a user-configureable size parameter that is a lower 
limit for mmapping files. All files with a size<limit should be opened using a 
conventional IndexInput from SimpleFS or NIO (another configuration option for 
the fallback?).
