Hi guys: We did some profiling and benchmarking: The thread contention on FSDIrectory is gone, and for the set of queries we are running, performance improved by a factor of 5 (to be conservative).
Great job, this is awesome, a simple change and made a huge difference. To get NIOFSDirectory installed, I didn't find any documentation (doesn't mean there aren't any), after reading the code, I resorted to: static { System.setProperty("org.apache.lucene.FSDirectory.class",NIOFSDirectory.class.getName()); } I am sure this is not the intended usage, as this is really ugly. What is the suggested usage? Thanks -John
