Within a single log, the version must be always increasing. The
reason for the epoch is that you might have two logs:
a b
(1, 1) (1, 1)
(1, 2) (1, 2)
(1, 3)
(2, 3)
(2, 4)
If a dies after persisting (1, 3) but before sending it to b, b might
become primary and go on accepting writes (2, 3) and (2, 4). Later, a
comes back and we determine that (1, 3) is divergent using the epoch
numbers.
