From 333d6f4e843c49002623417e6aa22da0521c4742 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2021 14:27:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix race in `MultiWriterIdGenerator` (#11045) The race allowed the current position to advance too far when stream IDs are still being persisted. This happened when it received a new stream ID from a remote write between a new stream ID being allocated and it being added to the set of unpersisted stream IDs.
