If this is the case, then we enqueue the `targetState` in some queue. If not, then we set the flag that we are transitioning into a new state and do the state transition. Once we are complete with a state transition we check the queue for enqueued state transitions. Only if all state transitions are dequeued, we switch the flag back to not doing a state transition. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
