I doubt whether these methods are "thread safe"... It is, in my opinion,
better to have an atomic interaction with a Port (i.e., read the whole
information it has in one, thread-safe go), and then examine the status and
take decisions in the safe context of one's own thread, and with full
ownership of this data.

Such API is no longer available in 2.x. There is no distinction between 'data'
ports and'buffer' ports. There's only input and output ports. The connection
between the ports will determine if buffering is going on or not.
