NAME

       Lucy::Store::LockFactory - Create Locks.

SYNOPSIS

           use Sys::Hostname qw( hostname );
           my $hostname = hostname() or die "Can't get unique hostname";
           my $folder = Lucy::Store::FSFolder->new(
               path => '/path/to/index',
           );
           my $lock_factory = Lucy::Store::LockFactory->new(
               folder => $folder,
               host   => $hostname,
           );
           my $write_lock = $lock_factory->make_lock(
               name     => 'write',
               timeout  => 5000,
               interval => 100,
           );

DESCRIPTION

       LockFactory is used to spin off interprocess mutex locks used by various index reading and
       writing components.  The default implementation uses lockfiles, but LockFactory subclasses
       which are implemented using alternatives such as flock() are possible.

CONSTRUCTORS

   new( [labeled params] )
           my $lock_factory = Lucy::Store::LockFactory->new(
               folder => $folder,      # required
               host   => $hostname,    # required
           );

       •   folder - A Lucy::Store::Folder.

       •   host - An identifier which should be unique per-machine.

METHODS

   make_lock( [labeled params] )
       Return a Lock object, which, once obtain() returns successfully, maintains an exclusive
       lock on a resource.

       •   name - A file-system-friendly id which identifies the resource to be locked.

       •   timeout - Time in milliseconds to keep retrying before abandoning the attempt to
           obtain() a lock.

       •   interval - Time in milliseconds between retries.

   make_shared_lock( [labeled params] )
       Return a Lock object for which shared() returns true, and which maintains a non-exclusive
       lock on a resource once obtain() returns success.

       •   name - A file-system-friendly id which identifies the resource to be locked.

       •   timeout - Time in milliseconds to keep retrying before abandoning the attempt to
           obtain() a lock.

       •   interval - Time in milliseconds between retries.

INHERITANCE

       Lucy::Store::LockFactory isa Lucy::Object::Obj.
