No, this would be after inserting in the cache/state store/etc -- basically
once
all operations have completed such that the record would be present if
queried after that time.

@Guozhang
I'm glad you suggested the TRACE level. It seems we've been
heading in that direction for a while so I'm happy to add it as part of
this KIP. Especially if it unblocks the question of whether to update the
system time (for now).
