Public Methods

public abstract void clearLock (String lockName)

Attempt to clear (forcefully unlock and remove) the specified lock. Only call this at a time when you are certain this lock is no longer in use.

Parameters
lockName name of the lock to be cleared.
Throws
IOException

public String getLockPrefix ()

Get the prefix in use for all locks created in this LockFactory.

public abstract Lock makeLock (String lockName)

Return a new Lock instance identified by lockName.

Parameters
lockName name of the lock to be created.

public void setLockPrefix (String lockPrefix)

Set the prefix in use for all locks created in this LockFactory. This is normally called once, when a Directory gets this LockFactory instance. However, you can also call this (after this instance is assigned to a Directory) to override the prefix in use. This is helpful if you're running Lucene on machines that have different mount points for the same shared directory.
