Bruno Roustant commented on LUCENE-9379:
----------------------------------------

I'm going to pause my work on this for some time, until there are comments 
added here that share use-cases where OS level encryption is not possible.
If you can use OS level encryption, do so, it will be faster. If not, share 
your use-case here.

> The goal is to provide optional encryption of the index, with a scope limited 
> to an encryptable Lucene Directory wrapper.
> Encryption is at rest on disk, not in memory.
> This simple approach should fit any Codec as it would be orthogonal, without 
> modifying APIs as much as possible.
> Use a standard encryption method. Limit perf/memory impact as much as 
> possible.
> Determine how callers provide encryption keys. They must not be stored on 
> disk.
