/**
 * Provides error constants and exceptions associated with the Raft consensus protocol.
 * <p>
 * Copycat protocol errors are designed to be transported across networks in the most efficient manner possible. Each protocol exception
 * is associated with a 1-byte identifier. Rather than serializing complete {@link java.lang.Exception} objects, the protocol exception is
 * sent using only its identifier and the exception is recreated by the receiving side of a connection.
