    • setLockPrefix

      public void setLockPrefix(String lockPrefix)
      Set the prefix in use for all locks created in this LockFactory. This is normally called once, when a Directory gets this LockFactory instance. However, you can also call this (after this instance is assigned to a Directory) to override the prefix in use. This is helpful if you're running Lucene on machines that have different mount points for the same shared directory.
