message: |
time.Now() should not be called from within the Server's FSM. Apply Raft
log messages to the State Store must be deterministic so that each server
contains exactly the same state. Since time drifts between nodes, it must
be set before the Raft log message is applied so that all Raft members
see the same timestamp.
