raft.Step
already ensures that whenm.Term > r.Term
, candidate reverts back to follower with its term being reset withm.Term
, thus it's always true thatm.Term == r.Term
instepCandidate
. This just makesr.becomeFollower
calls consistent. Also add tests around this behavior.Also document why
stepCandidate
should reuse candidate's own term, notm.Term
. This is because pre-vote is requested with future term.
