The patch series introduces linearisable topology changes using
raft protocol. The state machine driven by raft is described in
"service: Introduce topology state machine". Some explanations about
the implementation can be found in "storage_service: raft topology:
implement topology management through raft".
The code is not ready for production. There is not much in terms of error
handling and integration with the rest of the system is not even started.
For full integration request fencing will need to be implemented and
token_metadata has to be extended to support not just "pending" nodes
but concepts of "read replica set" and "write replica set".
The code may be far from be usable, but it is hidden behind the
"experimental raft" flag and having it in tree will relieve me from
constant rebase burden.
