This is the point I have discussed in my previous mail to the group. The
decision should be where to invest. Always there is a cost in terms of
performance, complexity, extensibility, scalability, etc. Single updateState
works fine in a small scale setup and very well could be the one to use in
most of the deployments. But in a large cluster when there are lot of
conflicts locking techniques not going to scale.
In my opinion, having the ability to have different configurations based on
the application need is very important. We cannot have a single solution
which can cater for all the scenarios while providing high values for all the
QoS attributes.

Null check should get converted to a single instruction in the CPU compare to
a method call which requires saving the state of the CPU registers and
restoring them. According to the Java documentation, Java compiler optimizes
the property set and get methods to direct variable access so that they are
not expensive as method calls.
