-------------------------------------------

Huh, I thought I fixed this with LUCENE-771.  I'll take it.

>                 Key: LUCENE-877
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-877
>             Project: Lucene - Java
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Other
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>         Environment: n/a
>            Reporter: Andreas Guther
>            Priority: Minor

> I am in the process to migrate from Lucene 2.0 to Lucene 2.1.
> From reading the Changes document I understand that the write locks are now written into the index folder instead of the java.io.tmpdir. 
> In the "Apache Lucene - Index File Formats" document in section "6.2 Lock File" I read that there is a write lock used to indicate that another process is writing into the index and that this file is stored in the java.io.tempdir.
> This is confusing to me.  I had the impression all lock files go into the index folder now.  And using the the java.io.tempdir is only local and does not support access to shared index folders.
> Do I miss something here or is the documentation not updated?
