Does this mean if you can insure that only one IndexWriter and/or IndexReader(Doing deletion) are never open at the same time (eg using database instead of lucene's locking), there will be no problem with removing locking? If you do not use an IndexReader to do deletion can you open and close it at anytime?

There can only be one instance that writes to an index at one time. Disabling locking disables the checks, but then you have to take care yourself. So in practice disabling locking is useful for readonly access to static indices only.
