+### Bucket Sync Disable/Enable

+Reframe in terms of log generations, instead of handling SYNCSTOP events with a special Stopped state:
+
+* radosgw-admin bucket sync enable: create a new log generation in the bucket instance metadata
+    - detect races with reshard: fail if reshard in progress, and write with cls_version to detect race with start of reshard
+    - if the current log generation is shared with the bucket index layout (BucketLogType::InIndex), the new log generation will point at the same index layout/generation. so the log generation increments, but the index objects keep the same generation
+* SYNCSTOP in incremental sync: flag the shard as 'done' and ignore datalog events on that bucket until we see a new generation

 ### Log Trimming
 
 * Use generation number from sync status to trim the right logs
