Ok I get you! I think. So you would essentially simply do:

     if(!lockManager.isLocked(key)){
         invokeNextInterceptor(ctx, commandToInvalidateKey(key));
     }

But isn't this a race at least at some level between this thread which 
removes entries from a data container (without holding any locks) and 
another thread/tx which potentially locks the same keys only to find 
them removed from data container. Not sure, but this sounds a bit fishy!

What do you think?
