Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-6993:
--------------------------------------------
Hard-coded in DatabaseDescriptor to use Config.DiskAccessMode.standard for both
file and index access if it's not a unix environment.
I also took the liberty of changing the isUnix check to strcmp once on class
init and then reference a set boolean later rather than checking the string
every time we called the function.

> Memory-mapped I/O on Windows causes issues with hard-links; we're unable to
> delete hard-links to open files with memory-mapped segments even using nio.
> We'll need to push for close to performance parity between mmap'ed I/O and
> buffered going forward as the buffered / compressed path offers other
> benefits.
