Thank you Shalin.So in a system where the indexing rate is more than 5K TPS or so the replica will never be able to recover through peer sync process.In my case I have mostly seen step 3 where a full copy happens and if the index size is huge it takes a very long time for replicas to recover.Is there a way we can configure the number of missed updates for peer sync.
