I am getting few warnings like these

Any suggestion on how to address this?
Hi Vadud3
A bucket can be locked by creating this file during 3 operations,
to avoid running more than one of them concurrently on the same bucket :
When splunk is calculating the size of an index, it may log the warning you saw, if the lock file disappeared between the beginning and the end of the calculation.
this is not a relevant Warning.

BTW, this message no longer exists in Splunk 4.3
