We encountered:
In this case, it is from an extractor with its own statestore that builds upon the internal one, which may make this worse, but when reviewing the code it seems we did not lock when inserting the state to raw. This was probably the cause for the above error. In the same way, we were serializing it in the JSON backed state store without locking the underlying dict, which may in theory also cause this.
If we are concerned with long lock times around the insert, we could make a lock, copy the state store, unlock and then insert/iterate over that copy. It is a bit unclear if that is really needed.
