> Ideally, rebalancing is a temporary situation and if everything goes well we should leave that state as soon as possible. I totally agree with you @lucasbru . As I mentioned in the above comment, "before we baked in the state-updater, i.e. remove the old code and make state-updater always enabled, we decided to still honor the current behavior". After state-updater becomes the only choice, I think we should allow restoration and state-updater and processing on main thread to happen at the same time, in which case `REBALANCING` state should be pretty short-lives, if any. And for us the question becomes whether we would want a new state to indicate that some restoration is happening in parallel while we are processing. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
