Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-6508:
---------------------------------------

I may have been to aggressive, sorry for that. I am fine with the given 
proposals, my intent is just to have it better this time - it was a large step 
forward last September to remove the ability to have LockFactory and Directory 
work on different directories at all. I already removed lots of outdated APIs 
like forcefully unlocking.

Also in this issue, I still want to keep the LockFactory and Directory 
separation alive, because it allows to configure this much better. But I know 
we agree on this :-)

I will help on that issue, maybe we should open a branch? I knew from last time 
that this was a horrible amount of code to touch...

> See LUCENE-6507 for some background. In general it would be great if you can 
> just acquire an immutable lock (or you get a failure) and then you close that 
> to release it.
> Today the API might be too much for what is needed by IW.
