Lucene locks left around in application restart/crash
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HSEARCH-284
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-284
             Project: Hibernate Search
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1.GA
            Reporter: sam doyle


In a case where an application restarts, crashes, gets killed etc. if there is an existing  Lucene lock it will not be removed on the application restart.
As a result of this the application itself can be severely impacted.

After encountering this particular issue and needing to manually remove the lock to resolve the problem I did some searching. It appears this situation is somewhat common and the use of NativeFSLockFactory was the suggested solution.

Since I don't see where this particular option is configurable with Hibernate Search I have opened this request.
