Hanisha Koneru commented on RATIS-850:
--------------------------------------
Snapshots are a function of the StateMachine. So they should ideally be kept
independent from RaftServer logs.
But I see your point. Let's purge upto snapshotIndex, ifÂ
PURGE_UPTO_SNAPSHOT_INDEX is set to true, irrespective of commitIndex. I will
update the patch.
> Allow log purge up to snapshot index

> Ratis logs are purged only up to the least commit index on all the peers. But
> if one peer is down, it stop log purging on all the peers. If the Ratis
> server takes snapshots, then we can purge logs up to the snapshot index even
> if some peer has not committed up to that index. When the peer rejoins the
> ring, instead of ratis logs, it can get the snapshot to catch up.
