             Summary: Persist commit index in Raft log.
                 Key: RATIS-352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RATIS-352
             Project: Ratis
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: server
            Reporter: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze
            Assignee: Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze


Current the commit index is not persisted in the Raft log.  When a server 
restarts, it cannot apply its log until it has joined a Raft group.  There is 
no problem if there is a Raft group.  

However, a server cannot recover its data when formatting a Raft group is 
impossible (e.g. a majority of servers are dead).  Ideally, a server can safely 
apply the log up to the commit index.  The JIRA is to persist the commit index 
so that such recovery is possible.
