fix: default exitOnStopLeading to true in LeaderElectionConfigurationBuilder - #3619
Conversation
…Builder LeaderElectionConfigurationBuilder.build() defaulted exitOnStopLeading to false, contradicting the deprecated LeaderElectionConfiguration constructors and the LeaderElectionManager javadoc, which both treat true as the default. Operators configured through the builder, including those configured via the josdk.leader-election.* properties handled by ConfigLoader, therefore kept running after losing the lead, risking two instances reconciling in parallel. Introduce EXIT_ON_STOP_LEADING_DEFAULT_VALUE, use it from build() and the deprecated constructors, and route build() and buildForTest(boolean) through a common private build(boolean) instead of build() delegating to buildForTest(false).

- These statements are stronger than the current public API: the deprecated eight-argument
LeaderElectionConfigurationconstructor is still public and acceptsfalse, so production callers can disable this behavior andbuildForTestis not the only way to do so. Please qualify this as the default/supported builder behavior, or make the constructor inaccessible before documenting it as always on.
Exiting on lost leadership is always on in production. `LeaderElectionConfigurationBuilder` exposes
`buildForTest(boolean exitOnStopLeading)` to turn it off, but as the name says this is only meant for
tests, where terminating the JVM would kill the test run.

Do not describe false as test-only. The public deprecated LeaderElectionConfiguration constructor accepts exitOnStopLeading = false, so production code can still create such a configuration. State that true is the default and that buildForTest(boolean) is the supported builder path for tests. Do not claim that production always exits.
