: Ah, I hadn't realized that they might not be supported everywhere... I I'm just trusting the javadoc for NativeFSLockFactory ... i have no idea if it's accurate or not.
: The current locking can also guard against mistakes though (multiple : instances of Solr trying to write to the same dir, someone opening a : Luke index on it, etc). right ... but it's only useful if all of the potential clients are using the same locking mechanism ... right now it's only safe to do any of those things if all the apps use SimpleFSLockFactory. all the more reason to make the factory and the lockDir configurable in Solr i guess. -Hoss
