What do you want to use these locks for? From your question, you seem to
be concerned about multiple threads accessing a stream. FileLocks have
nothing to do with that. They were meant to be something like 'flock()'
system call.

Do you any reason why? Is it because only one thread can write to a specific
file in the hdfs at a single time....and multiple simultaneous readers
doesn't cause any problem...hence locks make no sense in this situation???
thanks for the help.

File locking is not supported in HDFS. Not sure if it ever was supported
properly. This interface was deprecated last year.
