Clean up orphaned lock files on startup
---------------------------------------

                 Key: HSEARCH-511
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-511
             Project: Hibernate Search
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0.CR1
            Reporter: Marc Schipperheyn


I have had several occassions when the MassIndexer failed to complete for some reason and I had to restart Tomcat. MassIndexer creates lockfiles for the indexes it is updating. These lock files remain after a restart and block MassIndexer from running again. 

I suggest that Hibernate Search during startup checks for the existence of lock files in the index directory and removes then if they are there. This prevents an administrator from having to go and do it manually which is a bummer in production.
