While under most situations this is save a lot of application servers change java.io.tmpdir at runtime.
Tomcat is a good example. Within Tomcat this property is set to TOMCAT_HOME/temp..
Under this situation if I were to create two IndexWriters within two VMs and try to write to the same index the index would get corrupted if one Lucene instance was within Tomcat and the other was within a standard VM.
I think we should consider either:
1. Using out own tmpdir property based on the given OS.
2. Go back to the old mechanism of storing the locks within the index basedir (if it's not readonly).
Thoughts?
