Dan,
Looking through what we currently have, given the blocking nature of state transfer, I
wonder if we can improve on it by pausing the state transfer from time to time to flush
waiting transactions? I.e., if state transfer is in progress and a write command or
transaction is waiting for it to finish, and since state transfer is chunked anyway,
perhaps to let a few transactions through in between transferring chunks?
Not sure it is as simple as that: allowing tx to to apply changes *before* the ST finished
means you'd need to keep track of the keys the given transactions changed - they might
be shifted around by the ST - and reply to them consistently. Sanne's suggestion
details solves that in an elegant manner, as far as I remember.
