I understand that part, but why would the lock be registered against an index? My understanding from the developers is that this lock on an index was blocking. That is what confuses me, why would we get an index level lock of type DX?
My current understaning is that the report on this was invalid. There was another locking issue and it was reported to me as being the DX locks, while the real issue was a normal local TX lock in the DB.
We'll see if this surfaces again.
