Description
Tried running memstore example with -race and and got errors.
After submitting PR #780 in an attempt to make memstore threadsafe, discovered that it can be threadsafe but not consistent for readers when a writer is updating it (by deleting, adding).
Now I believe that the issue is not that current memstore is not threadsafe, but there is no concurrent memstore.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the memstore example and run it with -race to reproduce the reported errors. Review PR #780 and the issue discussion to understand the distinction between thread safety and consistent concurrent reads; done would require a defined concurrent memstore design, which the issue does not specify.
