Re: snapshots

Simplified: when a server comes back up it checks it's local snaps/logs to
reconstruct as much of the "current state" as possible. It then checks with
the leader to see how far behind it is, at which point it either gets a diff
or gets a full snapshot (from the leader) depending on how far behind it is.

Hi All

Are snapshots serialized dumps of the DataTree taken whenever a log rolls
over? So when a server goes down and comes back up does it construct the
data tree from the snapshots? What if I am running this on a machine with
SSD as extended RAM how does it affect anything?
