   > I have not dived into these changes deeply, but if you just want to make 
lifetime of SyncMigrateContext as long as the command object, you can store an 
instance of SyncMigrateContext in CommandClusterX directly (`class 
CommandClusterX { SyncMigrateContext ctx_; ... }`), and pass some non-owning 
pointer (like raw pointer, no ownership) to the migrator.
   
   @PragmaTwice @xiaobiaozhao Thank you for the advice. This is another 
reasonable solution. However, there are two things to note here:
   1. The `CommandClusterX` does not always have a `SyncMigrateContext` (only 
when migrating with a "sync" flag). Making the context a non-pointer member of 
the `CommandClusterX` object may not make good sense here. If we decide to do 
this, I suggest to adopt `std::optional<SyncMigrateContext>`.
   2. Due to the concern of memory safety, I am not a fan of raw pointers. Of 
course, in this PR we could use it, but we may set up some potential risk for 
the future. Because not every maintainer could get to know  that 
"the`CommandClusterX` object must live long enough to complete the migration".
