[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1877) Improve IndexWriter javadoc on locking

["Uwe Schindler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1877?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12750117#action_12750117 ] 

Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1877:
---------------------------------------

As nobody else objects, I will update the tests tomorrow and switch to NativeFSLockFactory for the new ctors and FSDir.open(). The old and deprectated API is unchanged.

Will go to bed now.

> 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?
