I wonder if not being able to delete the file should throw a release failed exception at all. You have actually released the native lock - you where just not able to clean up - but that seems more like a warning situation than a failure.

The exception is thrown from NativeFSLock.release() b/c it fails to
delete the lock file. I think I know what the problem is - and it must
be related to the large number of JVMs that are created w/ the parallel
tests:
* Suppose that JVM1 draws the number '1' for the test lock file - it
thus creates lock1.
* Now suppose that JVM2 draws the same number, magically somehow - it
thus creates lock1 as well.
* The code of acquireTestLock in NativeFSLockFactory looks like this:
     Lock l = makeLock(randomLockName);
     try {
       l.obtain();
       l.release();
--> both will create the same test Lock file. Then l.obtain() probably
returns false for one of them, but it's not checked.
* Then in release there are a couple of things to note:
1) the method is synced on the instance, which does not affect the two JVMs.
2) suppose that both JVMs pass through the if (exists()) check. Then
JVM1 releases the lock, and deletes the file.
3) Now JVM2 kicks in, calls lock.release() which has no effect (from the
jdoc: "If this lock object is invalid then invoking this method has no
effect." ). Then when it comes to path.delete(), the file isn't there,
the method returns false and thus an exception is thrown ...

This situation is extremely unlikely to happen, but still, it happens on
my machine quite frequently since the parallel tests. I'm thinking that
acquireTestLock should be less strict, but perhaps we can fix it if we
replace the line:
      if (!path.delete()) (line 310)
with this
      if (!path.delete() && path.exists())

I.e., if the lock file fails to delete but is still there, throw the
exception ...

What do you think?

    Thats just too randomly close to when i last worked on this build
    system stuff for LUCENE-1709... perhaps I made it worse instead of
    better.
