Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6507:
-------------------------------------
Its precisely the same issue Uwe. See Simon's description, and i quote:
{quote}
if we can't obtain it the lock should not be closed since we might ie. close
the underlying channel in the NativeLock case which releases all lock for this
file on some operating systems

> Directory#makeLock is trappy

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Simon Willnauer
>
> the lock API in Lucene is super trappy since the lock that we return form
> this API must first be obtained and if we can't obtain it the lock should not
> be closed since we might ie. close the underlying channel in the NativeLock
> case which releases all lock for this file on some operating systems. I think
> the makeLock method should try to obtain and only return a lock if we
> successfully obtained it. Not sure if it's possible everywhere but we should
> at least make the documentation clear here.
