public abstract class Payload extends Object implements Serializable
An instance of a Payload class is meant to be used as the Payload for AppendEntries.

When an actor which is derived from RaftActor attempts to persistData it must pass an instance of the Payload class. Similarly when state needs to be applied to the derived RaftActor it will be passed an instance of the Payload class.
