public class SimpleFSLockFactory extends FSLockFactory
Implements LockFactory using File.createNewFile().
NOTE: the javadocs
 for File.createNewFile contain a vague
 yet spooky warning about not using the API for file
 locking.  This warning was added due to this
 bug, and in fact the only known problem with using
 this API for locking is that the Lucene write lock may
 not be released when the JVM exits abnormally.
When this happens, a LockObtainFailedException
 is hit when trying to create a writer, in which case you
 need to explicitly clear the lock file first.  You can
 either manually remove the file, or use the IndexWriter.unlock(Directory)
 API.  But, first be certain that no writer is in fact
 writing to the index otherwise you can easily corrupt
 your index.
If you suspect that this or any other LockFactory is
 not working properly in your environment, you can easily
 test it by using VerifyingLockFactory, LockVerifyServer and LockStressTest.
