Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2688:
------------------------------------
I don't understand why does an Android app need to lock the index at all, and
even if -- can't SimpleFS work?
java.util.management is perfectly legit, and is not an external dependency or
anything. Luckily Android includes java.util.concurrent -- what if it didn't?
Would we attempt to fix Lucene too (IndexReader wouldn't work, for example).
I personally don't mind if we fix it though, to use nanoTime() or wrap with
try-catch and fallback to using nanoTime() there.
It's just a question of what do we want to say about Android support.

> NativeFSLockFactory throws an exception on Android 2.2 platform as
> java.lang.management package is not available on android.
> Looks like FSDirectory defaults to NativeFSLockFactory, and this class
> refers to java.lang.management package to generate a unique lock.
> java.lang.management is not available in Android 2.2 and hence a runtime
> exception is raised. The workaround is to use another custom LockFactory or
> SimpleFSLockFactory, but Fixing NativeFSLockFactroy will help.
> Thanks,
