There's no index locking while optimizing that I know of. But optimize is not all that necessary usually unless you have a pretty static index, in fact under the covers it's been renamed to forceMerge or something just to keep it from sounding so necessary. The resource reclamation & etc. happens automagically when segments are merged now, so you might not want to optimize at all!
