Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-6507:
-----------------------------------------
I agree with rob that there is a bug in this code but honest. Once we opened
that channel we have to close it again but that might release another processes
lock. so I wonder how we can fix that ?

> 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.
