> If you get your IDE to scan for "volatile long", you find 20-30 entries. Volatile operations on `long` variables are not guaranteed to be atomic, so these usages can be vulnerable to race conditions generating invalid data.
> they need to be replaced by AtomicLong references, except in the specific case that you want performance values for statistics, and are prepared to take the risk
