title: Sitecore 8.1 share lucene index
body: <p>We have deployed the sitecore on to azure web apps. From what I read, the azure web apps instances share the common file share. For example, if we have 3xCD all of them will share the compiled code including assets and indexes etc. As a result we are getting "Lucene.Net.Store.LockObtainFailedException"</p>

  <p>If we have 3xCD , is it possible to configure each CD instance to share the common lucene index so that each instances doesn't try to rebuilt the index. </p>
