// planApply is a long lived goroutine that reads plan allocations from
// the plan queue, determines if they can be applied safely and applies
// them via Raft.
//
// Naively, we could simply dequeue a plan, verify, apply and then respond.
// However, the plan application is bounded by the Raft apply time and
// subject to some latency. This creates a stall condition, where we are
// not evaluating, but simply waiting for a transaction to apply.
//
// To avoid this, we overlap verification with apply. This means once
// we've verified plan N we attempt to apply it. However, while waiting
// for apply, we begin to verify plan N+1 under the assumption that plan
// N has succeeded.
//
// In this sense, we track two parallel versions of the world. One is
// the pessimistic one driven by the Raft log which is replicated. The
// other is optimistic and assumes our transactions will succeed. In the
// happy path, this lets us do productive work during the latency of
// apply.
//
// In the unhappy path (Raft transaction fails), effectively we only
// wasted work during a time we would have been waiting anyways. However,
// in anticipation of this case we cannot respond to the plan until
// the Raft log is updated. This means our schedulers will stall,
// but there are many of those and only a single plan verifier.
