public class NIOFSDirectory
extends FSDirectory

NIO version of FSDirectory. Uses FileChannel.read(ByteBuffer dst, long position) method which allows multiple threads to read from the file without synchronizing. FSDirectory synchronizes in the FSIndexInput.readInternal method which can cause pileups when there are many threads accessing the Directory concurrently. This class only uses FileChannel when reading; writing with an IndexOutput is inherited from FSDirectory. Note: NIOFSDirectory is not recommended on Windows because of a bug in how FileChannel.read is implemented in Sun's JRE. Inside of the implementation the position is apparently synchronized.
