>
> When a lagging Follower wants to catch up with the Leader, and the Leader
> only has logs with start index greater than the Followers's last log index,
> then the leader sends an InstallSnapshotRequest to the the Follower.
> The aim of this Jira is to allow State Machine to decouple snapshot
> installation from the Ratis server. When Leader does not have the logs to get
> the Follower up to speed, it should notify the Follower to install a snapshot
> (if install snapshot through Log Appender is disabled). The Follower in turn
> notifies its state machine that a snapshot is required to catch up with the
> leader.
