The way the WAL works is by sequentially and synchronously sending write requests to other nodes using
ClusterServer.MakeRequest
.MakeRequest
is inherently problematic, since it will block indefinitely waiting for the response, if the response wasn't receivedMakeRequest
will never return. In the case of the WAL, that means replication will stop completely until the server is bounced.
