---------------------------------------
[~szetszwo] I'm pretty sure this is no longer the case based on my experience
but I couldn't find a Jira where this is fixed. Want to see if you know off
head. Thanks.
> Candidate does not transition to follower on leader election timeout

> Key: RATIS-909
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RATIS-909
> Project: Ratis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Lokesh Jain
> Assignee: Lokesh Jain
> Priority: Major
>
> When leader election times out, candidate should change to follower so that
> it can restart leader election process. New leader election is started when
> server transitions from follower to candidate. If server remains in candidate
> state, new leader election will not be started.
> In TestStateMachineShutdownWithGrpc, it was seen that all the servers see
> leader election timeout and remain in CANDIDATE state. Therefore new leader
> is never elected.
