Class MMapDirectory

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.store.Directory
      org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory
          org.apache.lucene.store.MMapDirectory

public class MMapDirectory
extends FSDirectory

File-based Directory implementation that uses mmap for input.

To use this, invoke Java with the System property org.apache.lucene.FSDirectory.class set to org.apache.lucene.store.MMapDirectory. This will cause FSDirectory.getDirectory(File,boolean) to return instances of this class.
