[CPS-users] NXLucene: index store filelock.py and lock.py QUESTION

[Ram Peters]

Question 1:
Question regarding "filelock.py" in "store" folder.  What is the
different between "filelock.py" and "lock.py"?

At the current state of "filelock.py" documentation says the following:

class PythonFileLock(object):

    # XXX this lock has some problems in a multi threading environement.
    # XXX this lock has a serious preformance issue.

    # This implementation is not used yet by the PythonFileDirectory.
    # See nxlucene.store.lock.py using

Question 2:
In nxlucene, does it provide remote location to store the index rather
than on same machine where the index process is running.  My initial
guess is that Lucene doesn't support this. Is this true still?
