Tries to atomically update the neuron's features.
Update will be performed only if the expected values match the
current values.
In effect, when concurrent threads call this method, the state could be modified by one, so that it does not correspond to the the state assumed by another. Typically, a caller retrieves the current state
, and uses it to compute the new state. During this computation, another thread might have done the same thing, and updated the state: If the current thread were to proceed with its own update, it would overwrite the new state (which might already have been used by yet other threads). To prevent this, the method does not perform the update when a concurrent modification has been detected, and returns false
. When this happens, the caller should fetch the new current state, redo its computation, and call this method again. Params: - expect – Current values of the features, as assumed by the caller. Update will never succeed if the contents of this array does not match the values returned by
getFeatures()
. - update – Features's new values.
Throws: - DimensionMismatchException – if the length of
update
is not the same as specified in the
constructor
.
Returns: true
if the update was successful, false
otherwise.
