----------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-2793.patch
I have edited org.apache.lucene.store and org.apache.index where needed. If this is correct I'll change the codecs too

> Today for merging we pass down a larger readBufferSize than for searching because we get better performance.
> I think we should generalize this to a class (IOContext), which would hold the buffer size, but then could hold other flags like DIRECT (bypass OS's buffer cache), SEQUENTIAL, etc.
> Then, we can make the DirectIOLinuxDirectory fully usable because we would only use DIRECT/SEQUENTIAL during merging.
> This will require fixing how IW pools readers, so that a reader opened for merging is not then used for searching, and vice/versa. Really, it's only all the open file handles that need to be different -- we could in theory share del docs, norms, etc, if that were somehow possible.
