Research direction

Start with waitTillLeaderIsReadyOrStepDown and trace how leader election readiness applies business data before services resume. The issue does not name files or tests; first establish the affected readiness and replication paths, then define and validate an approach that reduces unavailable time while preserving successful data application.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If the leader needs to be really ready, it needs to apply all business data successfully after the election.
During this period of time, the leader cannot actually provide services. In Gringofts, the method waitTillLeaderIsReadyOrStepDown will be waiting.
If a lot of data needs to be applied, it will wait for a long time.
Does Gringofts have some high-availability solutions that can minimize the time when services are unavailable?
Thank you.
