Tsz-wo Sze commented on RATIS-1403:
-----------------------------------
According to the RAFT algorithm, the leader should step down when it sees a
higher term. In requestVote(..), the leader recognizes a candidate only if the
candidate has a higher term. Therefore, the leader should change to follower
even if it will reject the vote from the candidate.
> should not change state when request is rejected
