// ProtocolVersion is the version of the protocol (which includes RPC messages
// as well as Raft-specific log entries) that this server can _understand_. Use
// the ProtocolVersion member of the Config object to control the version of
// the protocol to use when _speaking_ to other servers. Note that depending on
// the protocol version being spoken, some otherwise understood RPC messages
// may be refused. See dispositionRPC for details of this logic.
//
// There are notes about the upgrade path in the description of the versions
// below. If you are starting a fresh cluster then there's no reason not to
// jump right to the latest protocol version. If you need to interoperate with
// older, version 0 Raft servers you'll need to drive the cluster through the
// different versions in order.
//
// The version details are complicated, but here's a summary of what's required
// to get from a version 0 cluster to version 3:
//
// 1. In version N of your app that starts using the new Raft library with
//    versioning, set ProtocolVersion to 1.
// 2. Make version N+1 of your app require version N as a prerequisite (all
//    servers must be upgraded). For version N+1 of your app set ProtocolVersion
//    to 2.
// 3. Similarly, make version N+2 of your app require version N+1 as a
//    prerequisite. For version N+2 of your app, set ProtocolVersion to 3.
//
// During this upgrade, older cluster members will still have Server IDs equal
// to their network addresses. To upgrade an older member and give it an ID, it
// needs to leave the cluster and re-enter:
//
// 1. Remove the server from the cluster with RemoveServer, using its network
//    address as its ServerID.
// 2. Update the server's config to use a UUID or something else that is
//	  not tied to the machine as the ServerID (restarting the server).
// 3. Add the server back to the cluster with AddVoter, using its new ID.
//
// You can do this during the rolling upgrade from N+1 to N+2 of your app, or
// as a rolling change at any time after the upgrade.
//
// Version History
//
// 0: Original Raft library before versioning was added. Servers running this
//    version of the Raft library use AddPeerDeprecated/RemovePeerDeprecated
//    for all configuration changes, and have no support for LogConfiguration.
// 1: First versioned protocol, used to interoperate with old servers, and begin
//    the migration path to newer versions of the protocol. Under this version
//    all configuration changes are propagated using the now-deprecated
//    RemovePeerDeprecated Raft log entry. This means that server IDs are always
//    set to be the same as the server addresses (since the old log entry type
//    cannot transmit an ID), and only AddPeer/RemovePeer APIs are supported.
//    Servers running this version of the protocol can understand the new
//    LogConfiguration Raft log entry but will never generate one so they can
//    remain compatible with version 0 Raft servers in the cluster.
// 2: Transitional protocol used when migrating an existing cluster to the new
//    server ID system. Server IDs are still set to be the same as server
//    addresses, but all configuration changes are propagated using the new
//    LogConfiguration Raft log entry type, which can carry full ID information.
//    This version supports the old AddPeer/RemovePeer APIs as well as the new
//    ID-based AddVoter/RemoveServer APIs which should be used when adding
//    version 3 servers to the cluster later. This version sheds all
//    interoperability with version 0 servers, but can interoperate with newer
//    Raft servers running with protocol version 1 since they can understand the
//    new LogConfiguration Raft log entry, and this version can still understand
//    their RemovePeerDeprecated Raft log entries. We need this protocol version
//    as an intermediate step between 1 and 3 so that servers will propagate the
//    ID information that will come from newly-added (or -rolled) servers using
//    protocol version 3, but since they are still using their address-based IDs
//    from the previous step they will still be able to track commitments and
//    their own voting status properly. If we skipped this step, servers would
//    be started with their new IDs, but they wouldn't see themselves in the old
//    address-based configuration, so none of the servers would think they had a
//    vote.
// 3: Protocol adding full support for server IDs and new ID-based server APIs
//    (AddVoter, AddNonvoter, etc.), old AddPeer/RemovePeer APIs are no longer
//    supported. Version 2 servers should be swapped out by removing them from
//    the cluster one-by-one and re-adding them with updated configuration for
//    this protocol version, along with their server ID. The remove/add cycle
//    is required to populate their server ID. Note that removing must be done
//    by ID, which will be the old server's address.

// Version History
//
// 0: Original Raft library before versioning was added. The peers portion of
//    these snapshots is encoded in the legacy format which requires decodePeers
//    to parse. This version of snapshots should only be produced by the
//    unversioned Raft library.
// 1: New format which adds support for a full configuration structure and its
//    associated log index, with support for server IDs and non-voting server
//    modes. To ease upgrades, this also includes the legacy peers structure but
//    that will never be used by servers that understand version 1 snapshots.
//    Since the original Raft library didn't enforce any versioning, we must
//    include the legacy peers structure for this version, but we can deprecate
//    it in the next snapshot version.
