Interface RaftEndpoint

public interface RaftEndpoint
Represents an endpoint that participates to at least one Raft group and executes the Raft consensus algorithm with a RaftNode instance.

For the Raft algorithm implementation, it is sufficient to differentiate members of a Raft group with a unique id, and that is why we only have a single method in this interface. It is users' responsibility to assign unique ids to different Raft endpoints.
