Create a NativeFSLockFactory instance, with null (unset) lock directory. When you pass this factory to a {@link FSDirectory} subclass, the lock directory is automatically set to the directory itsself. Be sure to create one instance for each directory your create!

Create a NativeFSLockFactory instance, storing lock files into the specified lockDir:

Create a NativeFSLockFactory instance, storing lock files into the specified lockDirName:

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Retrieve the lock directory.

Get the prefix in use for all locks created in this LockFactory.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Set the lock directory. This method can be only called once to initialize the lock directory. It is used by {@link FSDirectory} to set the lock directory to itsself. Subclasses can also use this method to set the directory in the constructor.

Set the prefix in use for all locks created in this LockFactory. This is normally called once, when a Directory gets this LockFactory instance. However, you can also call this (after this instance is assigned to a Directory) to override the prefix in use. This is helpful if you're running Lucene on machines that have different mount points for the same shared directory.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Directory for the lock files.
