Grow the inflights buffer as needed instead of preallocating it to its
max size. This avoids preallocating a lot of unnecessary
space (8*MaxInflightMsgs) when using lots of raft groups while still
allowing for a reasonable MaxInflightMsgs configuration.
And 'maybeSnapshotAbort' does not 'unset'
the pendingSnapshot. 'resetState', which is called after this
metho, is the one that unsets pendingSnapshot. So this changes
the method name.
If I understand correctly, `progress` represents the states of follower. For
me, some comments weren't clear because it was missing the subjects of
`progress`. This adds more clarification on who is doing what. Please let me
know if I misunderstood anything. Thanks,
Each progress has a inflighs sliding window. When the progress
is in replicate state, inflights will control the sending speed
of the leader.
The leader can have at most maxInflight number of inflight
messages for each replicate progress. Receving a appResp moves
forward the sliding window. Heartbeat response free one
slot if the window is full.
