Review Comment:
   I see, just saw its from another pr and unrelated to this one.  But it still 
doesnt fit very well with the two phases (creation/acquisition) you put in the 
first part of the doc, should we just say simply:
   
   
   The HMS table locking is a 2-step process:
   1. Lock create: Create lock in HMS and queue for acquisition
   2. Lock check: Check if lock successfully acquired
   
   This way, they are more relevant to the property names (lock-create, 
lock-check)  Also wasnt sure about putting the details of 'should wait until 
every previously created Lock is released', is this the Hive internals?  As I 
feel it will just confuse more.
