Review Comment:
   I agree the variable name is confusing, but above approach would not solve 
the core client problem.
   
   Based on above suggestion, all concurrent messages would get the same 
currentReplicaNumber (For e.g., as you mentioned all get 0 when starting from 
scratch), making client-side prioritization impossible.
   
   But the implementation allows each message to get a unique number (2, 1, 0), 
allowing clients to prioritize availability-critical replicas over 
load-balancing ones per the proposal requirements. My thought is that clients 
need different numbers to implement `if (currentReplicaNumber > 1) 
useHighPriorityThreadPool()`.
   
   I think we should keep current logic but rename to maybe 
"replicaPriorityNumber" to avoid confusion?
