Requires that direct I/O be used for read or write access. Attempting to open a file with this option set will result in an UnsupportedOperationException if the operating system or file system does not support Direct I/O or a sufficient equivalent.
API Note: The DIRECT option enables performing file I/O directly between user buffers and the file thereby circumventing the operating system page cache and possibly avoiding the thrashing which could otherwise occur in I/O-intensive applications. This option may be of benefit to applications which do their own caching or do random I/O operations on large data sets. It is likely to provide the most benefit when the file is stored on a device which has high I/O throughput capacity. The option should be used with caution however as in general it is likely to degrade performance. The performance effects of using it should be evaluated in each particular circumstance.
