--------------------------------------------

I'll open a new issue, to remove acquireTestLock... all tests pass with it 
removed.

> NativeFSLock create a test lock file which its name might collide w/ another 
> JVM that is running. Very unlikely, but still it happened a couple of times 
> already, since the tests were parallelized. This may result in a false 
> exception thrown from release(), when the lock file's delete() is called and 
> returns false, because the file does not exist (deleted by another JVM 
> already). In addition, release() should give a second attempt to delete() if 
> it fails, since the file may be held temporarily by another process (like 
> AntiVirus) before it fails. The proposed changes are:
> 1) Use ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName() as part of the test 
> lock name (should include the process Id)
> 2) In release(), if delete() fails, check if the file indeed exists. If it 
> is, let's attempt a re-delete() few ms later.
> 3) If (3) still fails, throw an exception. Alternatively, we can attempt a 
> deleteOnExit.
> I'll post a patch later today.
