Eks Dev commented on LUCENE-1743:
---------------------------------
right, it is not everything about reading index, you have to write it as well...
why not making it an abstract class with
abstract Directory getDirectory(String file, int minSize, int maxSize, String
[read/write/append], String context);
String getName(); // for logging
What do you understand under "context"? Something along the lines /Give me
directory for "segment merges", "read only" for search./
...Maybe one day we will have possibility not to kill OS cache by merging,
> 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?).
