At this point we know this is true: preferred replica is unacceptable or not in the ISR. This check is saying that to minimize leader change we don't need to elect a new leader if the current leader is acceptable and in the ISR. Let me try to write an algorithm that is easier to read and see what we think. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
