/**
 * Paxos storage layout and behavior
 *
 * Currently, we use a key/value store to hold all the Paxos-related data, but
 * it can logically be depicted as this:
 *
 *  paxos:
 *    first_committed -> 1
 *     last_committed -> 4
 *		    1 -> value_1
 *		    2 -> value_2
 *		    3 -> value_3
 *		    4 -> value_4
 *
 * Since we are relying on a k/v store supporting atomic transactions, we can
 * guarantee that if 'last_committed' has a value of '4', then we have up to
 * version 4 on the store, and no more than that; the same applies to
 * 'first_committed', which holding '1' will strictly meaning that our lowest
 * version is 1.
 *
 * Each version's value (value_1, value_2, ..., value_n) is a blob of data,
 * incomprehensible to the Paxos. These values are proposed to the Paxos on
 * propose_new_value() and each one is a transaction encoded in a bufferlist.
 *
 * The Paxos will write the value to disk, associating it with its version,
 * but will take a step further: the value shall be decoded, and the operations
 * on that transaction shall be applied during the same transaction that will
 * write the value's encoded bufferlist to disk. This behavior ensures that
 * whatever is being proposed will only be available on the store when it is
 * applied by Paxos, which will then be aware of such new values, guaranteeing
 * the store state is always consistent without requiring shady workarounds.
 *
 * So, let's say that FooMonitor proposes the following transaction, neatly
 * encoded on a bufferlist of course:
 *
 *  Tx_Foo
 *    put(foo, last_committed, 3)
 *    put(foo, 3, foo_value_3)
 *    erase(foo, 2)
 *    erase(foo, 1)
 *    put(foo, first_committed, 3)
 *
 * And knowing that the Paxos is proposed Tx_Foo as a bufferlist, once it is
 * ready to commit, and assuming we are now committing version 5 of the Paxos,
 * we will do something along the lines of:
 *
 *  Tx proposed_tx;
 *  proposed_tx.decode(Tx_foo_bufferlist);
 *
 *  Tx our_tx;
 *  our_tx.put(paxos, last_committed, 5);
 *  our_tx.put(paxos, 5, Tx_foo_bufferlist);
 *  our_tx.append(proposed_tx);
 *
 *  store_apply(our_tx);
 *
 * And the store should look like this after we apply 'our_tx':
 *
 *  paxos:
 *    first_committed -> 1
 *     last_committed -> 5
 *		    1 -> value_1
 *		    2 -> value_2
 *		    3 -> value_3
 *		    4 -> value_4
 *		    5 -> Tx_foo_bufferlist
 *  foo:
 *    first_committed -> 3
 *     last_committed -> 3
 *		    3 -> foo_value_3
 *

 * This libary is based on the Paxos algorithm, but varies in a few key ways:
 *  1- Only a single new value is generated at a time, simplifying the recovery logic.

 *  3- A 'leasing' mechanism is built-in, allowing nodes to determine when it is 
 *     safe to "read" their copy of the last committed value.
 *
 * This provides a simple replication substrate that services can be built on top of.
