Hi Michael

I am really pleased we have a potential fix.  I will look out for the patch.

Thanks for your help.

I believe this is not a locking issue and NativeFSLockFactory should
be working correctly over NFS.

OK, indeed the exception is inside IndexFileDeleter's initialization
(this is what I had guessed might be happening).

Whenever a writer is opeened, it initializes the deleter
(IndexFileDeleter).  During that initialization, we list all files in
the index directory, and for every segments_N file we find, we open it
and "incref" all index files that it's using.  We then call the
deletion policy's "onInit" to give it a chance to remove any of these
commit points.

What's happening here is the NFS directory listing is "stale" and is
reporting that segments_n exists when in fact it doesn't.  This is
almost certainly due to the NFS client's caching (directory listing
caches are in general not coherent for NFS clients, ie, they can "lie"
for a short period of time, especially in cases like this).

I think this fix is fairly simple: we should catch the
FileNotFoundException and handle that as if the file did not exist.  I
will open a Jira issue & get a patch.
