[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH v2 6/9] raft: keep track of greatest known term and filter replication sources based on that

Serge Petrenko sergepetrenko at tarantool.org
Mon Apr 12 22:40:19 MSK 2021


Start writing the actual leader term together with the PROMOTE request
and process terms in PROMOTE requests on receiver side.

Make applier only apply synchronous transactions from the instance which
has the greatest term as received in PROMOTE requests.

Closes #5445
