The DbEnv.lock_id method
returns a locker ID, which is guaranteed to be unique in the specified lock
table.
The DbEnv.lock_id method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
Errors
The DbEnv.lock_id method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv.lock_id method may fail and throw
a DbRunRecoveryException, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
