## org.apache.lucene.store
Class VerifyingLockFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.store.LockFactory
          org.apache.lucene.store.VerifyingLockFactory

    public class VerifyingLockFactory

extends LockFactory

A `LockFactory` that wraps another `LockFactory` and verifies that each lock obtain/release is "correct" (never results in two processes holding the lock at the same time). It does this by contacting an external server (`LockVerifyServer`) to assert that at most one process holds the lock at a time. To use this, you should also run `LockVerifyServer` on the host & port matching what you pass to the constructor.

  `LockVerifyServer`, `LockStressTest`
