> When we fix safe time advancement, replicas will start to block on snapshot scans until a timeout occurs, waiting to have a consistent view of the world at that timestamp before serving the scan. This will be a serious problem for lagging replicas, which might be several seconds or even minutes behind.
> Moreover in the absence of writes, the same will happen even for non-lagging replicas, which will have their safe times updated only when the leader heartbeats.
> We need to at least make sure that:
> - Blocked scanner threads are not starving other work.
> - If the replica's safe time is lagging by a lot, the replica refuses to do the scan and the client retries it on another replica.
> We might also consider other optimizations (like pinging the leader for up-to-date replicas that are just waiting on a heartbeat).
