The write lock is named "XXXX-write.lock" where
XXXX is typically a unique prefix computed by the
directory path to the index. When this file is
present, a process is currently adding documents
to an index, or removing files from that index.
This lock file prevents several processes from
attempting to modify an index at the same time.
The write lock, which is stored in the index
directory by default, is named "write.lock". If
the lock directory is different from the index
directory then the write lock will be named
"XXXX-write.lock" where XXXX is a unique prefix
derived from the full path to the index directory.
