org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory
public abstract class FSDirectory
Base class for Directory implementations that store index files in the file system. There are currently three core subclasses:
SimpleFSDirectory
is a straightforward
implementation using java.io.RandomAccessFile.
However, it has poor concurrent performance
(multiple threads will bottleneck) as it
synchronizes when multiple threads read from the
same file.
NIOFSDirectory
uses java.nio's
FileChannel's positional io when reading to avoid
synchronization when reading from the same file.
Unfortunately, due to a Windows-only Sun
JRE bug this is a poor choice for Windows, but
on all other platforms this is the preferred
choice. Applications using Thread.interrupt()
or
Future.cancel(boolean)
should use
SimpleFSDirectory
instead. See NIOFSDirectory
java doc
for details.
MMapDirectory
uses memory-mapped IO when
reading. This is a good choice if you have plenty
of virtual memory relative to your index size, eg
if you are running on a 64 bit JRE, or you are
running on a 32 bit JRE but your index sizes are
small enough to fit into the virtual memory space.
Java has currently the limitation of not being able to
unmap files from user code. The files are unmapped, when GC
releases the byte buffers. Due to
this bug in Sun's JRE, MMapDirectory's IndexInput.close()
is unable to close the underlying OS file handle. Only when
GC finally collects the underlying objects, which could be
quite some time later, will the file handle be closed.
This will consume additional transient disk usage: on Windows,
attempts to delete or overwrite the files will result in an
exception; on other platforms, which typically have a "delete on
last close" semantics, while such operations will succeed, the bytes
are still consuming space on disk. For many applications this
limitation is not a problem (e.g. if you have plenty of disk space,
and you don't rely on overwriting files on Windows) but it's still
an important limitation to be aware of. This class supplies a
(possibly dangerous) workaround mentioned in the bug report,
which may fail on non-Sun JVMs.
Applications using Thread.interrupt()
or
Future.cancel(boolean)
should use
SimpleFSDirectory
instead. See MMapDirectory
java doc for details.
open(java.io.File)
method, to allow Lucene to choose
the best FSDirectory implementation given your
environment, and the known limitations of each
implementation. For users who have no reason to prefer a
specific implementation, it's best to simply use open(java.io.File)
. For all others, you should instantiate the
desired implementation directly.
The locking implementation is by default NativeFSLockFactory
, but can be changed by
passing in a custom LockFactory
instance.

Currently this returns NIOFSDirectory
on non-Windows JREs and SimpleFSDirectory
on Windows. It is highly recommended that you consult the
implementation's documentation for your platform before
using this method.
NOTE: this method may suddenly change which
implementation is returned from release to release, in
the event that higher performance defaults become
possible; if the precise implementation is important to
your application, please instantiate it directly,
instead. On 64 bit systems, it may also good to
return MMapDirectory
, but this is disabled
because of officially missing unmap support in Java.
For optimal performance you should consider using
this implementation on 64 bit JVMs.

The default value is DEFAULT_READ_CHUNK_SIZE
;
This was introduced due to Sun JVM Bug 6478546, which throws an incorrect OutOfMemoryError when attempting to read too many bytes at once. It only happens on 32bit JVMs with a large maximum heap size.
Changes to this value will not impact any
already-opened IndexInput
s. You should call
this before attempting to open an index on the
directory.
NOTE: This value should be as large as possible to reduce any possible performance impact. If you still encounter an incorrect OutOfMemoryError, trying lowering the chunk size.
