certain this lock is no longer in use.

setLockPrefix
public void setLockPrefix(String lockPrefix)(Code)
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.
