  stack Trace:
  OverlappingFileLockException might occur after the long delay or
  pause
  
  Cause of exception is
  java.nio.channels.OverlappingFileLockException:
  sun.nio.ch.SharedFileLockTable.checkList(FileLockTable.java)
  sun.nio.ch.SharedFileLockTable.add(FileLockTable.java)
  sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.lock(FileChannelImpl.java)
  java.nio.channels.FileChannel.lock(FileChannel.java)

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is caused when AttachAPI is used simultaneously on
  multiple JVM's waiting for lock objects
  

Problem conclusion

• The JVM has been updated to reduce the long delays by properly
  handling exceptions and reducing timeout for error recovery.
