Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1877:
--------------------------------------------
OK. I would strongly recommend using the lock stress test
(LockStressTest/LockVerifyServer) in Lucene to verify whichever locking you're
trying is in fact working properly.
> Use NativeFSLockFactory as default for new API (direct ctors & FSDir.open)

> A user requested we add a note in IndexWriter alerting the availability of
> NativeFSLockFactory (allowing you to avoid retaining locks on abnormal jvm
> exit). Seems reasonable to me - we want users to be able to easily stumble
> upon this class. The below code looks like a good spot to add a note - could
> also improve whats there a bit - opening an IndexWriter does not necessarily
> create a lock file - that would depend on the LockFactory used.
> {code} <p>Opening an <code>IndexWriter</code> creates a lock file for the
> directory in use. Trying to open
> another <code>IndexWriter</code> on the same directory will lead to a
> {@link LockObtainFailedException}. The {@link LockObtainFailedException}
> is also thrown if an IndexReader on the same directory is used to delete
> documents
> from the index.</p>{code}
> Anyone remember why NativeFSLockFactory is not the default over
> SimpleFSLockFactory?
