Answer copy from the mailinglist:
An EntryProcessor doesn’t perform a lock. It is not necessary since EntryProcessors running in the same partition threads as all other operations, therefore you have an implicit locking like behavior. That is btw the reason why EntryProcessors shouldn’t be long running operations!
