## org.apache.lucene.store
Class DirectIOLinuxDirectory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.store.Directory
          org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory
              org.apache.lucene.store.DirectIOLinuxDirectory

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Closeable

    public class DirectIOLinuxDirectory

extends FSDirectory

An `Directory` implementation that uses the Linux-specific O_DIRECT flag to bypass all OS level caching. To use this you must compile NativePosixUtil.cpp (exposes Linux-specific APIs through JNI) for your platform.

WARNING: this code is very new and quite easily could contain horrible bugs. For example, here's one known issue: if you use seek in IndexOutput, and then write more than one buffer's worth of bytes, then the file will be wrong. Lucene does not do this (only writes small number of bytes after seek).

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Constructor Detail

### DirectIOLinuxDirectory

    public DirectIOLinuxDirectory(File path,
                                  LockFactory lockFactory,
                                  int forcedBufferSize)
                           throws IOException

  Create a new NIOFSDirectory for the named location.

  Parameters:
    `path` - the path of the directory
    `lockFactory` - the lock factory to use, or null for the default (`NativeFSLockFactory`);
    `forcedBufferSize` - if this is 0, just use Lucene's default buffer size; else, force this buffer size. For best performance, force the buffer size to something fairly large (eg 1 MB), but note that this will eat up the JRE's direct buffer storage space
  Throws:
    `IOException`

Method Detail

### openInput

    public IndexInput openInput(String name,
                                int bufferSize)
                         throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Directory`
  Returns a stream reading an existing file, with the specified read buffer size. The particular Directory implementation may ignore the buffer size. Currently the only Directory implementations that respect this parameter are `FSDirectory` and `CompoundFileReader`.

  Overrides:
    `openInput` in class `Directory`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### createOutput

    public IndexOutput createOutput(String name)
                             throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `FSDirectory`
  Creates an IndexOutput for the file with the given name.

  Overrides:
    `createOutput` in class `FSDirectory`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
