When coordinator receives a timeout on
AddFollower()
operation, the subsequent retries might fails, because the follower could have be added by the leader.This leaves the coordinator to keep retrying the
AddFollower()
(andNewTerm()
) indefinitely.If the same follower is already added by leader, it's safe to stop retrying.
