LUCENE-8982: Separate out native code to another module to allow cpp build with
gradle (#2068)
* LUCENE-8982: Separate out native code to another module to allow cpp build
with gradle
> Make NativeUnixDirectory pure java now that direct IO is possible
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-8982
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8982
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/misc
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 8h 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> {{NativeUnixDirectory}} is a {{Directory}} implementation that uses direct IO
> to write newly merged segments. Direct IO bypasses the kernel's buffer cache
> and write cache, making merge writes "invisible" to the kernel, though the
> reads for merging the N segments are still going through the kernel.
> But today, {{NativeUnixDirectory}} uses a small JNI wrapper to access the
> {{O_DIRECT}} flag to {{open}} ... since JDK9 we can now pass that flag in
> pure java code, so we should now fix {{NativeUnixDirectory}} to not use JNI
> anymore.
> We should also run some more realistic benchmarks seeing if this option
> really helps nodes that are doing concurrent indexing (merging) and searching.
