robert engels commented on LUCENE-1035:
---------------------------------------

I don't think this is any better than the NIOFileCache directory I had already submitted.

It not really approved because the community felt that it did not offer much over the standard OS file system cache.

My tests showed it was better, but I think this would fall into the same problem.

> Index in RAMDirectory provides better performance over that in FSDirectory.
> But many indexes cannot fit in memory or applications cannot afford to
> spend that much memory on index. On the other hand, because of locality,
> a reasonably sized buffer pool may provide good improvement over FSDirectory.
> This issue aims at providing such an optional buffer pool layer. In cases
> where it fits, i.e. a reasonable hit ratio can be achieved, it should provide
> a good improvement over FSDirectory.
