Is there any necessary to lock when update params?

It seems doesn't get lock when update network params in SharedAdam.
However, isn't there process safety problem without a lock?

Yes, there is possibility for bad updates if race condition occurs but such bad updates are quickly overwritten by new incoming updates. Although this can look to be as a disadvantage to this method, the use of locks are substantially time consuming. Overall, any negative is far outweighed by the increase in speed of updates.
