Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-6993:
--------------------------------------------

ping [~benedict].  Looking for a sanity check that there's no problem disabling mmap'ed index files on the 2.1 branch on Windows that I'm not thinking of rather than a code review.

> Memory-mapped I/O on Windows causes issues with hard-links; we're unable to delete hard-links to open files with memory-mapped segments even using nio.  We'll need to push for close to performance parity between mmap'ed I/O and buffered going forward as the buffered / compressed path offers other benefits.
