Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-6508: --------------------------------------- I may have been to aggressive, sorry for that. I am fine with the given proposals, my intent is just to have it better this time - it was a large step forward last September to remove the ability to have LockFactory and Directory work on different directories at all. I already removed lots of outdated APIs like forcefully unlocking. Also in this issue, I still want to keep the LockFactory and Directory separation alive, because it allows to configure this much better. But I know we agree on this :-) I will help on that issue, maybe we should open a branch? I knew from last time that this was a horrible amount of code to touch... > Simplify Directory/lock api > --------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-6508 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6508 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Robert Muir > Assignee: Uwe Schindler > > See LUCENE-6507 for some background.
