> It makes sense to me that after the resign state the replica should always increase its epoch. The replica resigned from leadership at epoch X so eventually the epoch will be at least X + 1. Did you consider transitioning to candidate and relaxing the transition functions to allow both resigned and prospective to transition to candidate? yes, I decided not to list that as an option because I felt it was equal to if not worse than the option of having resigned transition to prospective in epoch X + 1. personally I felt it was nicer to have less edge cases to the invariant that only prospective should transition to candidate -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
