@runzhiwang `PAUSING` and `PAUSED` states are in the LifeCycle so technically speaking, any role (leader, follower, candidate) can be paused. However, the current known usage is to pause a lagging follower and install a snapshot to help the follower catch up (e.g. lagging OM in Ozone HA mode or lagging followers on Ozone DataNode). That's why I left a comment say `pause()` might only matter for a follower now. Regarding who will call the `pause()`, it is not decided yet and I will have a design for it (relevant context: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RATIS-624?focusedCommentId=17185513&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17185513) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
