------------------------------------
Hi,
>> looks interesting as a replacement for RAMDirectory.
This class uses ByteBuffer, which has its overhead over simple byte[], though
using the same logic (if you verify it) can be used to improve the concurrency
in RAMDirectory (just use byte[[).
>> Your patch uses a "sun." internal package. If you want to do something
>> similar to MMapDirectory to release the buffer without waiting for GC, do it
>> in the same way using reflection like in MMapDirectory.
>From what I know, it was there in all JDKs I worked with (its like
>sun.misc.Unsafe). Have you seen otherwise? If so, its a simple change (though
>I am not sure about the access control thingy in MMapDirectory, its a
>performance killer, and caching of the Method(s) make sense).
> ByteBuffer Directory - allowing to store the index outside the heap
