public interface RequestProcessor
RequestProcessors are chained together to process transactions. Requests are
 always processed in order. The standalone server, follower, and leader all
 have slightly different RequestProcessors chained together.
 
 Requests always move forward through the chain of RequestProcessors. Requests
 are passed to a RequestProcessor through processRequest(). Generally method
 will always be invoked by a single thread.
 
 When shutdown is called, the request RequestProcessor should also shutdown
 any RequestProcessors that it is connected to.
