      Upon stepping down, DDL coordinators are currently executing the onCompletion logic that includes the release of distributed locks.

      This is not safe, as the following interleaving may happen:

      Different approaches may be evaluated for solving the problem, for example:

      • Custom logic for coordinators to don't release distributed locks if a coordinator document still exists (may require a modification of the ScopedDistLock destructor)
      • Reason in a more general way: shall a node stepping down ever release distributed locks since all operations using a dist lock are going to be resumed by the new primary?
