Not reading data that has not been persisted can be achieved without having to
delay inserting to the index or the log files.

Changing the order of committing to journal and adding to ledger storage
doesn't affect the time that an entry to be readable from BookKeeper client.
since there was a semantic guarantee in BookKeeper that a client would not read
an entry before the entry has been Acked succeed. Ack means the entry should be
committed to journal at least before responding to client.
> Bookie can fail to recover if index pages flushed before ledger flush

> Bookie index page steal (LedgerCacheImpl::grabCleanPage) can cause index file
> to reflect unacknowledged entries (due to flushLedger). Suppose ledger and
> entry fail to flush due to Bookkeeper server crash, it will cause ledger
> recovery not able to use the bookie afterward, due to
> InterleavedStorageLedger::getEntry throws IOException.
> If the ackSet bookies all experience this problem (DC environment), the
> ledger will not be able to recover.
> The problem here essentially a violation of WAL. One reasonable fix is to
> track ledger flush progress (either per-ledger entry, or per-topic message).
> Do not flush index pages which tracks entries whose ledger (log) has not been
> flushed.
