/**
* This package contains Lock for Hazelcast.
*
* The {@link com.hazelcast.core.ILock} is the distributed version of the {@link java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock}.
* So a lock can be acquired by different JVM's in the same cluster. When a JVM dies which acquired the Lock, the lock
* is automatically released to prevent deadlocks. When a JVM dies which owns the partitions of that lock, the backup
* partition will make sure that the lock is restored and therefor the lock is also highly available.
*
* @since 1
