Could temporary ZK election / connection loss stall indexing due to LIR?

[Ramkumar R. Aiyengar]

I haven't tested this, but something which I observed looking at the LIR
code. If there's a ZK election or connection loss, and the leader is unable
to reach a replica, would it stall till the ZK connection is established,
due to the LIR process? I can't see it happening in the background, may be
it should?
