Ok so I'll commit this. Thanks !

> We've created an optimized copy of files from Directory to Directory. We've
> also optimized copyBytes recently. However, we're missing the opposite side
> of the copy - from IndexInput to Output. I'd like to mimic the FileChannel
> API by having copyTo on IndexInput and copyFrom on IndexOutput. That way,
> both sides can optimize the copy process, depending on the type of the
> IndexInput/Output that they need to copy to/from.
> FSIndexInput/Output can use FileChannel if the two are FS types.
> RAMInput/OutputStream can copy to/from the buffers directly, w/o going
> through intermediate ones. Actually, for RAMIn/Out this might be a big win,
> because it doesn't care about the type of IndexInput/Output given - it just
> needs to copy to its buffer directly.
> If we do this, I think we can consolidate all Dir.copy() impls down to one
> (in Directory), and rely on the In/Out ones to do the optimized copy. Plus,
> it will enable someone to do optimized copies between In/Out outside the
> scope of Directory.
> If this somehow turns out to be impossible, or won't make sense, then I'd
> like to optimize RAMDirectory.copy(Dir, src, dest) to not use an intermediate
> buffer.
