feature/changelog: Fix for missing changelogs at backend.
Problem: A few changelog files are missing at the backend during snapshot with changelog enabled. Cause: Race between actual rollover and explicit rollover. Changelog rollover can happen either due to actual or the explict rollover due to snapshot. Actual rollover is controlled by tuneable called rollover-time. The minimum granularity for rollover-time is 1 second Explicit rollover is asynchronous in nature and happens during snapshot. Basically, rollover renames the current CHANGELOG file to CHANGELOG.TIMESTAMP after rollover-time. Let's assume, at time 't1', actual and explicit rollover raced against each other and actual rollover won the race renaming the CHANGELOG file to CHANGELOG.t1 and opens a new CHANGELOG file. An immediate explicit rollover at time 't1' happened with in the same second to rename CHANGELOG file to CHANGELOG.t1 resulting in purging the earlier CHANGELOG.t1 file created by actual rollover. Solution: Adding a delay of 1 sec guarantees unique CHANGELOG.TIMESTAMP during explicit rollover. Thanks Venky, for the all the help in root causing the issue.
