In anticipation of an upcoming 2.1 release, I started testing the
Berkeley Database - Java Edition Directory implementation.  I
immediately received a NullPointerException while trying to create an
index.  It was a result of the getLockFactory() returning null.
 
What is the new responsibility of Directory implementations regarding a
LockFactory?
 
Should Directory return a donothing implementation by default? 
 - Both of the Berkeley implementations would benefit from this approach
because the database handles locks.
