    I want to atomically increment the value of a specific NativeArray from outside the job, while job is actually running. It is currently giving me InvalidOperationException as i try doing it. I do not want to call Job.Complete() cause it will hit the performance significantly. Any ways?

    You have to include this NativeArray into your job.

    Thats not exactly what i want. I want to use somthing like Interlocked to increase the value of NativeArray while the job is running. I do not want to sync threads for that.

    You can always bypass safety if you just get the pointer and add the
    NativeDisableUnsafePtrRestriction attribute
