Class NativeFSLockFactory
Implements LockFactory using native OS file locks. Note that because this LockFactory relies on java.nio.* APIs for locking, any problems with those APIs will cause locking to fail. Specifically, on certain NFS environments the java.nio.* locks will fail (the lock can incorrectly be double acquired) whereas SimpleFSLockFactory worked perfectly in those same environments. For NFS based access to an index, it's recommended that you try SimpleFSLockFactory first and work around the one limitation that a lock file could be left when the JVM exits abnormally.
The primary benefit of NativeFSLockFactory is that lock files will be properly removed (by the OS) if the JVM has an abnormal exit.
Note that, unlike SimpleFSLockFactory, the existence of leftover lock files in the filesystem on exiting the JVM is fine because the OS will free the locks held against these files even though the files still remain.
If you suspect that this or any other LockFactory is not working properly in your environment, you can easily test it by using VerifyingLockFactory, LockVerifyServer and LockStressTest.

public class NativeFSLockFactory : FSLockFactoryConstructors
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| NativeFSLockFactory() | Create a NativeFSLockFactory instance, with null (unset) lock directory. When you pass this factory to a FSDirectory subclass, the lock directory is automatically set to the directory itsself. Be sure to create one instance for each directory your create! |
| NativeFSLockFactory(IO.DirectoryInfo) | Create a NativeFSLockFactory instance, storing lock files into the specified lockDir: |
| NativeFSLockFactory(String) | Create a NativeFSLockFactory instance, storing lock files into the specified lockDirName: |
